This book offers school counselors an effective and efficient approach to helping students through the use of Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC). The author presents a focused, step-by-step approach to counseling in schools that leads to rapid, observable change in students. The skills of conducting solution-talk discussions with students can help to reduce arguments, improve relationships, and teach young people to assume responsibility and make better decisions in a supportive environment. This new approach focuses on solutions rather than problems. Students learn how to set goals, rediscover their resources, and repeat past successes. This concise resource contains many tools and resources including:

  • Reproducible materials for use with Solution-Focused Guided Imagery
  • Short case studies and session transcripts to illustrate what SFBC looks like in practice
  • Guidelines for using solution-focused methods with referred discipline cases
  • Practice exercises to help readers apply the techniques
  • Sample forms to use in SFBC
Industry Reviews
"Simple yet spectacular, my students and I LOVE Brief Counseling that Works. It presents a user-friendly, time-efficient, and very effective approach to counseling school-aged youth (and adults)!" -- Bradley T. Erford, Professor "Every once in a while I come upon a text that is so clear, so explicit, and so practical that I hear students recommending it to other counseling students who are not in the class. Gerald Sklare's Brief Counseling That Works: A Solution-Focused Approach for School Counselors and Administrators is one such book. I have used the first two editions in my secondary school internship course for several years, and have had universally positive feedback from the interns. Even though they have all been introduced to SFBC in their theories and group classes and many have applied it in to their work in practicum, they are excited about how it helps them with "Connecting the Pieces". While I appreciate the ways that the book addresses the application of SFBC to the school setting, I feel that it is a valuable resource for anyone working with children and adolescents regardless of the setting." -- Virginia S. Dansby, Professor "The solution-focused counseling approach is teaching us that strengths and resources are already available and dormant within students, parents, and the school. This book is a highly readable and practical guide for harnessing the power of problem-free talk and exception-seeking to support and empower our students." -- Stephanos P. Vassilopoulos, Assistant Professor
