Brief Counseling That Works: A Solution-Focused Therapy Approach for School Counselors and Other Mental Health Professionals by Gerald B. Sklare

3.0

---

Reasonably straightforward read. It does tend to get a bit redundant at times, a failing of a lot of technique focused counseling books, though in this case not a major problem. It relies pretty heavily on sample conversations/scripts of counselors and clients implementing techniques. This is one of the places where said redundancy occurs, and besides that it becomes a bit tiresome by the end of the book. This is distinct from actual case study examples presented, which were a bit more informative and useful. All in all, a good overview of SFBT implementation in the schools setting.
