A Helping Hand: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Child and Adolescent Mental Health

John Wheeler

Child & Family Unit, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, UK

Solution-focused brief therapy is a relatively new approach for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in the UK. While the approach lacks the support of outcome studies compared with more conventional approaches, it is argued that the model does offer some specific advantages, and relates well to the range of problems which present and the manner in which many clients use the service. An outline of the approach is provided, along with an overview of research and comments on contraindications. A variety of clinical examples is used to illustrate how the approach works in practice. Concluding comments question the manner in which new approaches gain acceptance.

Key Words: Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services • clinical practice • research • solution- focused brief therapy
