Solution Focused Brief Therapy I chose this modality of therapy to gain knowledge. I recognize that many of the other modalities rely on the therapist to be the expert on the individual’s problem or concern. I feel that we focus so much on how and where the problem came from and focusing on the past that we spend more time in the past rather than focusing on the positives. I also like this approach as it focus on what positive in one’s life that working for them and allows the individual…

One assumption that is similar between both the resiliency model and focused brief therapy is that they both empower and encourage clients to choose and set their own goals for therapy or the counseling session (Riosalado, 2015). Another similarity among assumptions of the therapies are models consist of the belief…
