Single Session Therapy ... Was heißt das? Reicht eine Sitzung in Therapie oder Beratung eventuell aus? Beziehungsweise könnte sie ausreichen? Oder ist das schon die falsche Frage? Letzteres findet Jürgen Hargens, Klinischer Psychologe, Psychotherapeut, Autor und Herausgeber zahlreicher Bücher und Artikel und – neben vielem anderen – wirkungsvoller Gründer und Aus- und Weiterbildner im Feld systemischer und lösungsorientierter Psychotherapie. Im Gespräch mit Carl-Auer Sounds of Science geht es um ein aktuelles und richtungweisendes Buch, dessen deutschsprachige Ausgabe im Carl-Auer Verlag von Jürgen Hargens angeregt wurde und das jetzt erschienen ist: Wenn die Zeit knapp ist – Der Single-Session-Ansatz in Therapie und Beratung. Was bedeutet Single Session? Und was bedeutet es vor allen Dingen nicht? Welche Unterschiede gibt es zum Ansatz Lösungsorientierte Kurzzeittherapie nach Steve de Shazer und Insoo Kim Berg? Wie verhält sich Single Session zu Grundprämissen des Gesundheitssystems? Jürgen Hargens verdeutlicht die Haltung, die Single-Session-Thinking auszeichnet, erläutert, welche verblüffenden Möglichkeiten sich in klinischen Kontexten genauso wie in Beratungsstellen und psychotherapeutischen Praxen damit eröffnen, gibt Hinweise auf mögliche Fehldeutungen und – last not least – rückt in den Blick, welch große Wertschätzung für Klient:innen oder – wie er selbst es lieber sagt – „kundige Menschen“ in diesem Ansatz zum Ausdruck kommt und praktisch wirksam werden kann.

The Miracle Question Pattern (MQP) helps a person who stutters (PWS) make goals that are within reach. After a clinician interviews the pws, the clinician may lead the MQP process. Many pws can independently do this pattern after listening to this podcast. The MQP was created in the 1970's by Steve De Shazar and Insoo Kim Berg. Solution Focused Brief Therapy evolved out of the work of De Shazar and Berg. PWS have anxiety and fear related to stuttering. The MQP can help identify and change the elements that lead to anxiety and avoidance. I used it to help myself. I have been using it for 30 years. Have a great 2022 and beyond!

In dieser Folge beschreibe ich das lösungsfokussierte Kurzzeitcoaching nach Steve de Shazer und Insoo Kim Berg

„Problem talk creates problems, solution talk creates solutions“, sagte Steve de Shazer, Psychotherapeut und Erfinder der lösungsorientierten Kurztherapie. Und recht hat er damit. Um uns weiterzuentwickeln, müssen wir nicht jedes Problem in all seine Einzelteile zerlegen und es aus dreihundert verschiedenen Richtungen betrachten. Auch als ausgesprochener Fan von Selbstreflexion muss ich sagen: Sie hat ihre Grenzen. Das haben auch Steve de Shazer und Insoo Kim Berg erkannt und mit der Entwicklung des lösungsorientierten Ansatzes die bis dahin gängige Beratungspraxis revolutioniert. Statt sich darauf zu fokussieren das Problem zu verstehen, setzten sie darauf, sich den Stärken und Lösungsvorstellungen zu widmen. **Du erfährst in dieser Folge:**

Nicht immer macht es Sinn nach den Ursachen für ein Problem zu suchen. Es gibt sogar Stimmen die sagen, das dass nie Sinn macht. Was es damit auf sich hat erfährst Du in diesem Artikel/Podcast.  Für diesen Podcast hatte ich Oliver Perner im Gespräch.  Oliver Perner ist freiberuflicher Enterprise SFagile Coach, Trainer und Berater für lösungsfokussiert-agile Weiterentwicklung von Teams und Organisationen. Bevor Oliver sich selbständig gemacht hat, war er mehrere Jahre als Software-Engineer, Product Owner und Scrum Master für Unternehmen in Österreich tätig. Er ist aktiver Netzwerker in der agilen Community, Veranstalter zahlreicher Community-Events und Speaker auf internationalen agilen Konferenzen. Aufhänger für diesen Podcast war einer meiner LinkedIn Posts über das Thema "Macht Agilität krank?". Dort ging es u.a. darum, dass man bei jeder agilen Transition durch ein Tal der Tränen muss. Laut Oliver muss das aber nicht unbedingt er Fall sein, wenn man einen "Lösungsfokus" einnimmt. Die Idee des "Lösungsfokus" stammt von Steve De Shazer und Insoo Kim Berg.

Podcast: de nuttigheidsvraag. In 1999 volgde ik een opleiding SFBT (solution focused brief therapy) bij Insoo Kim Berg en Steve de Shazer en daar kwam ik voor het eerst in aanraking met wat Coert en ik later de nuttigheidsvraag zijn gaan noemen. Insoo begon haar sessies bijvoorbeeld met de vraag: ‘What needs to happen here today so that this conversation is useful to you?’ Het was in de jaren negentig een vraag die innovatief was in de therapie wereld. In plaats van allerlei diagnostische vragen te stellen stond de cliënt opeens aan het roer van het gesprek. Ik heb altijd in organisatiecontexten gewerkt en niet in therapie, maar zag al snel dat dit type vraag heel bruikbaar was in organisaties. In deze podcast ga ik in op het benutten van de nuttigheidsvraag in vier verschillende progressiegerichte rollen (helpen, sturen, instrueren, trainen/adviseren) en in vergaderingen en ga ik in op de precisie van formuleringen. Meer lezen over de nuttigheidsvraag en andere progressiegerichte interventies kan in dit boekje: 100 progressiegerichte interventies.

Welcome to What’s Better This Week? Episode 2: Starting From the Beginning.   So I’ve put a lot of thought into the best way to show the juxtaposition of Solutions Focused Work in a clinical setting, especially in a New York State, Office of Mental Health Licensed, Outpatient Community Mental Health Clinic.   What I’ve come up with (and we’ll see if it pans out, and if it doesn’t, we’ll change tracks) is to go through (at least for the very start of this program) what our patients experience when connecting to the process by going through the process itself, step by step; so I can show where the potential for clashes with the modality and clinical reality are, and how I address and account for them (where possible) in a solutions focused way, and how I make solutions focused work in all of this in general. Then, after that, each week, we’ll tackle general solutions focused stuff that comes up in the clinical world: advances, techniques, new evidenced based research, how we continue to make it all fit together, and more.   This Podcast probably isn’t the best for those entirely new to Solutions Focused work, though It will be beneficial for students who want to be SFBT clinicians in the field one day (especially in the states). So that said, I’m going to make one big assumption, and that assumption is that you’re already familiar with SFBT, and have a pretty decent handle on how to conduct a session (at least theoretically) or you’re already an SFBT practitioner.   If you don’t or aren't, that’s okay. I think of all of the modalities, SFBT is the modality where we most want to create new practitioners. My suggestion is that if you’re new to this branch of therapy or counseling or coaching (depending on what country you’re listening from) is to get super familiar with it really quick, by reading the works of Insoo Kim Berg, Steve De Shazer, and also watching and reading the works and videos of Scott D. Miller (and there are many more to choose from, and of course, YouTube…which is where I’ve learned everything from how to fix my cars headlights to how to pick a lock, all valuable skills as a former case manager).   That said, I’m going to jump right into the podcast. You are welcome back at any time, or you can stick around, and if you find that it’s not making sense maybe it’s time to hit the pause button, and do some light reading.   Let’s talk terms. In this podcast, I’m going to refer to clinical work to mean outpatient behavioral health care in an environment which requires the acceptance of insurance in order to treat clients or patients who otherwise could not afford mental health care, and I’m going to refer to SFBT or Solutions Focused to mean Solutions Focused Brief Therapy.   So, the first two issues that we run up against in the clinical vs. SFBT divide is that SFBT doesn’t rely on a  diagnosis (in fact, we generally eschew diagnosing patients, and it isn’t necessary for the modality at all)…and, in SFBT we also begin work immediately in the first session, which just doesn’t happen in a clinical setting.   In the United States, and certainly in my practice in New York, I am required to provide a diagnosis at the end of the very first visit (despite the fact that we are trained, almost universally across the board of the helping professions) that diagnosing on the first visit or interaction is the worst practice and shouldn’t be done. Insurance requires it, so we make some ethical leaps and bounds, and et viola, we all do it, because otherwise no one would get care (and none of us have risen up en masse to put the insurance companies in their rightful place...yet).   The second, most noticeable difference is that in “pure SFBT” we begin the session with the patient or client immediately when they are in our office, at their first appointment. Sure, maybe they sign a couple of forms and releases at the front desk (or online if they register through a portal), but as soon as they sit down, we start. Not so in a clinical environment. First, there’s a patient intake process, and confirming insurance (at my clinic patient’s do this in a little phone booth). Then there’s another intake process to get more information in the waiting room (which is done on a clipboard). Then we are required to complete an in person assessment process which takes (up to, and sometimes standardized to) three sessions, where we are required to ask a myriad of questions on an electronic form of which, as a solutions focused counselor, I find unhelpful, unnecessary, and generally useless (all of the information in this assessment will come out, if it’s relevant, during session). However, they’re mandatory…because someone (other than me) has determined that they’re mandatory (oftentimes the state agencies that license our clinics, and are what allow us to provide services to the most marginalized and in need in our communities).   What an incredible difference: In true SFBT practice, we begin our treatment of the patient from the word “go.” In clinical practice we don’t begin treatment until the fifth appointment. That’s because the first three appointments are assessment appointments (which, of course, benefits the clinician and the agency more than they benefit the patient). We also take a urine sample somewhere in there to establish a baseline measure so we can appease the DSM-V’s “rule out substances” clause, and then the fourth visit is when a collaborative treatment plan is made (more on that later, because it becomes incredibly important when we look at solutions focused work in a clinical environment…legally, ethically, and for billing purposes).   So…wow...that’s a month and a week of appointments before we get down to helping a patient help themselves figure out what to do for why they walked in our doors in the first place.   To be fair to my agency, we have been working diligently (across all modalities) to ensure that patients do receive some time in each assessment appointment to talk, or learn coping skills…but they are clearly not therapy sessions.   So besides the fact that this flies in the face of patient centered treatment; and the fact that it’s antithetical to solutions focused treatment, one of the bigger problems is that the statistical mode (the most common number of all sessions a patient or client will have in therapy) is one. This means that we spend a ton of time gathering information, and data (again, usually because a regulatory bureaucrat thinks that it's important) instead of helping patients in what may be their only interaction with a therapist ever.   So, why would I - or why would you, as a solutions focused person, ever want to get involved in this nonsense? It’s not because you want to get your C or your -R credential (editorial note: I’m heavily biased toward Social Work). It’s because it is absolutely vital that marginalized communities (of which these community mental health clinics serve) be given the opportunity to receive this same level of evidence based, person centered, empowering care, that otherwise only those who have extra, disposable income could afford. That’s why. And I’m going to encourage you to stick around with me, and to become experts on making it work…because we have to. Because people need this modality. And we have to be able to offer it to them.   So let’s dive in a bit further: There’s little I can do about the process (right now) before someone gets into my office. However, once someone is in my office, I have a great deal of control…it’s my space.   The first thing that I do when I sit down with a patient, after explaining confidentiality, is I ask them “What brings you in?” and then, after they let me know what brought them in, I ask “how can I be helpful?" (shout how to Denise Krause at the UB School of Social Work for teaching me that question, it’s one of my go to questions, especially when I get stuck. Then I genuinely listen. I don’t listen to respond. I just listen to listen.    Already, the tenor of a typical “assessment” appointment has changed. First, I’m not rapid firing questions at them, and I’m not talking about myself, my philosophy, my agency, or our process. There’s one person that’s important here. The patient (and their needs). Once they have expressed themselves enough to answer this question, I use a Solutions Focused Formulation to share back with them why they’re here.   I then share that I use collaborative documentation in order to take notes (we’ll come back to this - since I don’t use a pad or a computer during anything but the last five minutes of session after this process), and I ask for permission to begin the assessment process. I then wait to receive that permission. (it’s at this point I turn around, and unlock my computer screen). I then take everything that the patient and I have discussed, and - instead of asking it in the form of assessment questions all over again. Type what the patient has already shared with me into the corresponding boxes. I type while speaking out loud what it is that I’m typing, so if I make a mistake the patient can correct me (that’s part of the collaborative documentation part) . I will then ask for filler, or clarifying information as needed. In doing this, I show that I’ve listened to the patient. I then ask an assessment question, in a very solutions focused way.   Instead of asking the question that’s on the assessment (that was added to encourage clinicians to work with patients on some of their needs during the assessment process, which is “what is one thing we can work on today to make you feel hopeful about this and other sessions”), I ask the SFBT question of “so what’s your best hope for Today’s session, so when you leave here today, you’ll know that it wasn’t a waste of time, and that you really got something out of it?” I then make sure that we work on that.   This has, likely, used up around no more than 20 or so minutes of our time (all said and done). Assessment appointments (since they’re billed at a higher reimbursement rate, hence why there’s three of them, because three of them are allowed, and community health clinics are floundering financially as it is…) last an hour. This means that we have another forty minutes together. Within the first session there are certain tabs on our EMR’s intake assessment that must be completed. The biographical tab, the depression screen tab, the lethality tab, and then I always do the safety plan tab because, honestly, it does happen to be a great intervention. The depression tab has to be completed even if the patient has never, ever, ever, ever been depressed a day in their life. Totally antithetical to SFBT. That said, the questions don’t have to be. If a patient is “scoring” (as if it’s a sports match) low or high on the screen, we can still move it into SFBT languages (we cannot change the language of the screening tool…because then it will no longer be the evidenced based screening tool…).   So instead of saying “wow, you’re really depressed!” or “it seems that you’re very depressed!” we can say “wow, that all must be very difficult…how have you been coping?” or “wow, how have you managed, despite things being so difficult, to make sure that you’re mood’s been okay?” The same is true for questions on the lethality tab where we also do risk assessment, and have to ask about things such as past arrests (“That sounds very frightening, how did you get through that?”) or the safety/coping plan (“it seems that you have a lot of supports, and a lot of people who really care about you, how did you develop such a great support network?” or “that seems really difficult, not having many people to rely on, how are you coping right now?”).   So finally, we’ve made it through most of these tabs, and - if everything has gone right…there’s twenty or so minutes to go, where I can say “excellent, so we have twenty or so minutes remaining to talk, thank you so much for bearing through that process, let’s get you scheduled for your next appointment so we can finish out using the remaining time to brainstorm around what brought you in here, in the first place, when you mentioned what your best hopes for today’s session were, what I heard you say was…”   This seems as good a place as any to stop…since it’s where I have to stop with my patients during their first week of the assessment process. Next week, we’ll cover what happens after the patient leaves my office after their first session, as well as the second week of the assessment process. We’ll also go a little more in depth as we explore the notion of diagnosis, what it means to assess for past treatment history, trauma, schizophrenia, mood, eating disorders, gambling disorders, substance use disorders, and more as a solutions focused counselor, and what it looks like to prep the patient for their third assessment appointment.   Thank you for listening. Please tune in again next Sunday, as we continue forward together down our solutions focused path. I’m @TheMattSchwartz, and it’s time for some self care with my cat, Akiva, who is patiently waiting for cuddles while I record this.   The music you’re listening to in the background today is Boston Landing on “Blue Dot Sessions" generously shared through a creative commons license.

039 Hast du dich schon gelegentlich ertappt, dass du vorschnell Lösungsvorschläge machst, wenn jemand sein Problem schildert? Wie ist das angekommen? Führte es nicht zu Abwehr und Verteidigung? Wenn du andere unterstützen möchtest eigene, individuelle Lösungen zu finden, brauchst du ein paar besondere Fähigkeiten. Insoo Kim Berg, die mit Steve DeShazer diesen Ansatz ausgefeilt hat, nannte sie auch „Fähigkeiten des Nicht-Wissens“. Die ersten drei besprechen wir heute: Zuhören aus Neugierhaltung für die kreative Lösungsfähikgeit deines Gegenüber Fähigkeit, hilfreiche Fragen zu stellen zu Lösungen statt zu Problemen Neugier auf Einzelheiten von Lösungen und Fähigkeiten. Was davon tust du schon? Was davon möchtest du noch vertiefen und üben?

Regardless of the therapeutic approach used, the first session is a critical one in creating possibilities for a positive outcome for the client. We want to pay attention to developing a positive therapeutic alliance and ensure that we're talking about what's important to the client. In this fourth episode of Leading From Behind, we look at the unique perspective taken in solution focused practice regarding each contact with the client. We also examine three key objectives that the solution focused practitioner aims to address in conducting an effective first session. In our resource segment, we mention two books of note and a recommended website for those with an interest in learning more about solution focused practice:​ Books:​ More Than Miracles: The State of the Art of Solution Focused Brief Therapy - by Steve de Shazer and Yvonne Dolan, with Harry Korman, Terry Trepper, Eric McCollum and Insoo Kim Berg.​ Beyond Technique in ​Solution Focused Therapy - by Eve Lipchik Website:​ Coert Visser's Blog: Doing What Works​

In this first episode, we take a look at the origins and subsequent development of solution focused therapy. In particular, we note how Insoo Kim Berg, Steve deShazer and others came to develop this respectful approach to helping people.
