sexual abuse/trauma + solution-focused therapy

Monday, October 7, 2013

One of the assignments in my brief therapy interventions class entails reading a book from a suggested reading list and then writing a review: the highlights, my resistance areas (i.e. what I disagreed with or didn't like), points I thought would be helpful, and other comments.

Originally, I wanted a book on PTSD, but another student mentioned that she wanted to read it, so I chose "Even From a Broken Web" by Bill O'Hanlon and Bob Bertolino. At first, I thought it would be a tedious read about sexual abuse and trauma, but I quickly found myself drawn in by the easygoing writing style and incredibly insightful/helpful content.

Also, I at first thought that I wouldn't like the solution-focused approach (I'm a fan of Adler and family constellations and genograms), but after learning about solution-focused therapy (SFT) in brief this semester, I think I may have found "my" theory.
