Q

Stages of Therapy in Solution-Focused:

A

  2. Subsequent sessions - discuss how client views changes in the problem, find exceptions, assigning tasks
  3. Termination - reaching goal

Therapy is brief and can be with one person or entire family.

Q

Major Concepts of Narrative:

A
  1. Language is all important; emphasis is on meanings.
  2. Dominant story/cultural discourse, re-authoring, unique outcomes and sparkling events
  3. Hermeneutics (interpretation) and Objectification.

  5. How an event is constructed is how it is experienced.
  6. We can never know reality, we can only know our construction of reality.

Q

Stage of Therapy in Narrative:

A
  1. Externalizing the problem
  2. Charting relative influence (how contributing to the problem and learning to separate and control the problem)

17
Q

Diagnosis/Assessment in Narrative:

  5. M. C. Bateson
19
Q

Major Concepts of Collaborative Language Systems:

A
  1. Problems are created through language, not fixed entities.
  2. Postmodern, philosophical stance; non-pathologizing
  3. Problem-determined system = people participating in focusing on the problem
  4. Problem-dissolving therapy - once the problem is dissolved, the system organized around the problem also dissolves.
20
Q

Theory of Dysfunction in Collaborative Language Systems:

A
  1. Problems are maintained in language by a problem-determined system.
  2. The view of the problem hampers any successful means of resolution.
21
Q

Theory of Change in Collaborative Language Systems:

A
  1. Generate new meaning about the problem.

2. Clients take new action to resolve the problem.

22

A

Therapy is a continuous process.

  1. Focus on language and interaction.
  2. Dialogical conversation - collaboration of exchanging and discussing ideas, feelings, etc.

25
Q

Diagnosis/Assessment in Collaborative Language Systems:

A
  1. Co-constructed by therapist and client system through “shared inquiry”, linguistic stories.
  2. Focus on what client system presents.
  3. Conversational questions are utilized.
26
Q

How do the constructivist/postmodern models differ in problem conceptualization and intervention?

A

Solution-focused:
Problem is de-emphasized, build off of exceptions.

Narrative:
Problems arise from problem-saturated stories and are externalized and personified in a process of co-authoring new stories.

Collaborative Language:
Problems are constructed and maintained by problem-determined system and are dissolved through collaborative conversation, finding new meaning.
