Survival Kit for Teachers. Solution-Focused Practice at School

This book is cramped with familiar school and classroom situations,
but despite the title it doesn’t offer the teacher or therapist
ready-made solutions. And neither does the teacher or
therapist in his solution-focused work at school. They let the
pupils discover their own solutions. Solution-focused interventions
invite you to look at problems differently and can elicit
solution-focused reactions.
The Korzybski-institute in Bruges has developed the procedure
of solution-focused work described in this book since 1984. And
during the presentation in ‘Therapeutic Conversations II (Denver,
Colorado) the American therapists called it ‘The Bruges
Model’, hence the name of this model.
