Franklin, C., Biever, J., Moore, K., Clemons, D., & Scamardo, M. (2001). The effectiveness of solution-focused therapy with children in a school setting. Research on Social Work Practice, 11(4), 411-434.
Brief Introduction The study was designed to gauge the impact of solution-focused therapy on students, specifically children within school settings. The design used to facilitate this study were AB single case designs. Additionally, the participants were extended approximately 5-10 sessions that were solution-focused therapy oriented. These sessions were administered to students who were recommended through a referral system due to the nature of their learning disability or problems with their behavior in the classroom setting. The data was …show more content…
The study was not conclusive in the fact that it did not gain enough positive findings to prompt more research in the area of solution-focused therapy with children in schools. The available evidence suggests that the results of the seven single-case studies are supported by the previous studies of prior researchers who investigated the potential results of implementing this type of therapy within the school setting with children. The results showed that children that are given solution-focused therapy do, in fact, make positive progress towards addressing their slated range of issues related to their behavior issues (Franklin, 2001).
Further Research The areas for future research should truly focus more on the teacher and the related consultation method that is enacted in each case. By examining these factors, teacher effectiveness in managing and addressing student behaviors in the classroom would increase in a positive way. It would give additional insight to the most effective measures of intervention regarding developing positive reinforcement and implementing the necessary supports that are most beneficial for the student to overcome the difficulties experienced as a result of their behavior

Due to the fact that this model of therapy is solution, I believe that this is an effective method of therapeutic that places emphasis on client strengths to engage them in pursuing an active future of progressed based on the desires of the client rather than confining them to the issues of the past or places of adversity the are currently experiencing. This model gives clients the opportunity to demonstrate useful behaviors on a frequent basis and allow them to develop a nature of consistency leading to effective change. Due to the fact that they use these strategies frequently as well as the method of questioning, it assist clients in discovering unconventional routes to address specific behaviors that may be deemed as detrimental or unattractive. The therapist, in their role, can provide the client the opportunity through co-construction to navigate through interaction pointing the way to routes that may prove to be beneficial to the individual seeking progress. The solution-focused therapy model differs from behavior therapy and skill building in regards to the fact the model already takes the position that the solution based behaviors are present for the client to engage. The model takes the proactive approach by asserting that each step of progress leads towards a greater magnitude of
