The final question that a therapist would use in SFT is the scaling question. Gutterman refers to scaling as the ability for the client to quantify and evaluate the concern. This allows everyone see the progress. I recognize this is very helpful with clients when they do not see progress in change. Having the individual quantify the situation and or solution is helpful. I feel that of all the steps in SFT this is the easiest question to ask. Placing a number and identifying why the number places the person to see the improvement. The other famous question is the miracle question. This is the questions that allows the individual to think of what it would look like without the identified
