Focusing on solutions and not problems, thinking about the future and not the past, and understanding the effects of miracles--children do these things naturally. Here, leaders in the solution-focused approach to therapy provide clinicians with a guide to a kind of therapy that fits with children's natural way of being.
Thanks for the real examples of helping children find solutions

I read CHILDREN'S SOLUTION WORK over the summer with many times of reading for short periods. The read is pleasant, the examples are unforgettable. The suggestions are helpful. The authors have grasped what it means to get into a child's world enough for them to have influence that can help children expand the possibilities they have for facing and dealing with critical issues. I recommend it.
Excellent and readable

Berg and Steiner's well written book is my new most valuable resource. As a graduate student who wants to focus on child and adolescent therapy, but in a program that focuses more on adult family therapy, this book was very helpful to me. Steiner took Berg's solution focused therapy and used it with children in a creative way. They give case studies and discuss some more common issues you will see in therapy, such as ADHD, trauma, abuse, etc. They also discuss the therapy in general and how to apply it to children. If you are planning on ever working with children, this book is a must, even if you don't necessarily agree with everything they write.
Insoo Rocks!

This is a must for anyone who works with children. Not only do the authors explore solution work in general, but tailor it for children. They include specific exercises if you need a little help getting your creativity flowing. I would highly recommend this book for students, interns, and practitioners, basically anyone who works with children on a regular basis.
