What is My Philosophy?1. What are my core beliefs, ideas, or assumptions about the
clients with whom I work?2. How did I arrive at those beliefs?3. What has most significantly influenced my beliefs, ideas,
and assumptions as they relate to my clients?4. How have my beliefs, ideas, and assumptions affected my
work with clients? With colleagues/peers? With larger communities?
![Page 7: Department of the Navy 2015 CAP Training Solution-Based Therapy: Time Sensitive Strategies to Foster Change Bob Bertolino, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Maryville.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062905/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab059978252/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is My Philosophy (cont.)?4. How do I believe that change occurs?5. Do I believe that some degree of change is possible with
every client? (If you answered “yes” then end here.)(If you answered “no,” proceed to the next question.)
6. How do I work with clients whom I believe cannot (or do not want to or are resistant to) change? What do I do?
7. If I do not believe that every client (and/or family) can experience some degree of change, what keeps me in doing this kind of work?

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
“The integration of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of patient
characteristics, culture, and preferences.” (p. 273)

Clinical ExpertiseThe APA Task Force on EBP
“Clinical expertise… entails the monitoring of patient progress (and of changes in the patient’s circumstances—e.g., job loss, major illness) that may suggest the need to adjust treatment… If progress is not proceeding adequately, the psychologist alters or addresses problematic aspects of the treatment (e.g., problems in the therapeutic relationship or in the implementation of the goals of the treatment) as appropriate” (2006, pp. 280, 276-277).

Patient (Client) Characteristics,Culture, and Preferences
• Client characteristics (i.e., age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, race, social class, disability status, sexual orientation, developmental status, life stage, etc.).
• Strengths, resources, beliefs, and factors that can influence change.
• Understanding of the local knowledge and culture.• Personal preferences, values, and preferences related to
treatment (e.g., goals, beliefs, worldviews, treatment expectations).

The Pathology Bias• Freud thought the best we could hope for in life was
“ordinary misery.”• Behavioral health has historically focused on pathology.• Until recently, psychological publications and studies
dealing with negative states outnumber those examining positive states by a ratio of 15 to 1.
• A bias in behavioral health has been to get people back to zero; a result of which is the “empty person.”
• We can help individuals, families, couples, groups, and systems to better leverage strengths and resources…
• A result of which is a reduction in negative symptoms and an increase in well-being.
• Higher well-being has been shown to lengthen lifespan, boost the immune system, strengthen relationships, increase productivity, and so on.

From Pathology to Strengths“What we have learned over 50 years is that the disease model does not move us closer to the prevention of these serious problems. Indeed the major strides in prevention have largely come from a perspective focused on systematically building competency, not correcting weakness. Prevention researchers have discovered that there are human strengths that act as buffers against mental illness: courage, future-mindedness, optimism, interpersonal skill, faith, work ethic, hope, honesty, perseverance, the capacity for flow and insight, to name several… We need now to call for massive research on human strength and virtue. We need to ask practitioners to recognize that much of the best work they already do in the consulting room is to amplify strengths rather than repair the weaknesses of their clients.” (p. 6-7)

A Strengths-Based FoundationA strengths-based perspective emphasizes the abilities and resources people have within themselves and their support systems to more effectively cope with life challenges. When combined with new experiences, understandings and skills, those abilities and resources contribute to improved well-being, which is comprised of three areas of functioning: individual, interpersonal relationships, and social role. Strengths-based practitioners value relationships convey this through respectful, culturally-sensitive, collaborative, practices that support, encourage and empower. Routine and ongoing real-time feedback is used to maintain aresponsive, consumer-driven climate to ensure the greatestbenefit of services.

Pathology vs. Solution-Based
Traditional View• Identify, uncover, discover—deficits,
impairments, pathology• Belief is people are bad, have
hidden agendas, and as resistant• Practitioner finds and administers
cures• The practitioner is the “expert”• Focus is on the past/past events• Expression of emotion considered
necessary for change• Practitioners diagnose stuckness• Emphasis is on finding identity and
personality problems
Solution-Based• Identify competencies/abilities• Focus is on promoting well-being• Belief is people have good intentions, are
cooperative• Focus is on identifying small changes
that lead to bigger ones• Services are collaborative with shared
expertise• Focus is on the present and future• Practitioners validate experience• Practitioners are change-oriented• Emphasis is on action and process

Solution-Based Assumptions 1. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.2. If it works, do more of it. 3. If it's not working, do something different.4. Small steps can lead to big changes.5. The solution is not necessarily directly related to the problem. 6. The language for solution-development is different from that needed to
describe a problem. 7. No problem happens all the time; there are always exceptions that can
be utilized. 8. The future is both created and negotiable.

Conceptualization of Problems
1.SBT is focused on finding solutions not problems and therefore does not look at a person in the sense of being maladjusted.
2.It is behavior that causes maladjustment and not the innate qualities of the person.
3.The client’s narrative determines much about the repeated patterns of dysfunctional behavior.

Principles of Change
• Castonguay and Beutler (2006), “We think that psychotherapy research has produced enough knowledge to begin to define the basic principles that govern therapeutic change in a way that is not tied to any specific theory, treatment model, or narrowly defined set of concepts” (p. 5).

Clients are the Most Significant Contributors to Service Success
Key CompetencyMaximize client contributions to change
• The client and factors in the client’s life account for more variance (80-87%) in the outcome than any other factor.
• Focus on client ratings of distress and change.• Recognize clients as competent and capable of change.• Identify and utilize client contributions including internal strengths (i.e.,
abilities, coping skills, resiliencies) and external resources (i.e., relationships, social support systems).

The Variance in Treatment Outcome
• Client/Extratherapeutic Factors = 80-87%• Treatment Effects = 13-20%
• Therapist Effects = 4-9%• The Alliance = 5-8%• Expectancy, Placebo, and Allegiance = 4%• Model/Technique = 1%

Client Contributions
• Use assessments as opportunities to explore both risks and strengths.
• Identify and assist with developing supportive social systems, resources, and networks.
• Explore client stories by using questions that elicit past solutions and successes:
• Utilization• Exceptions• Difference• Influence (Problem or Person over)• Coping• Splitting• Linking

The Therapeutic Relationship Makes Substantial and Consistent Contributions to Outcome
Key CompetencyEngage clients through the working alliance
• The quality of the client’s participation (engagement) in services the most important process determinant in outcome.
• Clients who are more engaged and involved in services are likely to receive greater benefit.
• The client’s rating of the alliance is more highly correlated with outcome than provider ratings.
• Work with clients to establish goals and methods to achieve those goals.

Positive Relationships
Countless studies document the link between society and psyche: people who have close friends and confidants, friendly neighbors, and supportive co-workers are less likely to experience sadness, loneliness, low self-esteem, and problems with eating and sleeping. The single most common finding from a half century's research on the correlates of life satisfaction, not only in the United States but around the world, is that happiness is best predicted by the breadth and depth of one's social connections.

What is the Therapeutic Alliance?
The therapeutic alliance refers to the quality and strength of the collaborative relationship between the client and therapist and is comprised of four empirically established components: 1) agreement on the goals, meaning or purpose
of the treatment;
2) agreement on the means and methods used;
3) the client’s view of the relationship (including the therapist being perceived as warm, empathic, and genuine); and,
4) accommodating the client’s preferences.

Possibility LanguageFuture Talk: Acknowledgment and a Vision for the Future
1. Assume the possibility of future change and/or solutions by using words such as “yet” and “so far.”
From: “It’s always going to be this way.”To: “So far you haven’t found any evidence that things will be different than the way they are now.”
2. Recast the problem statement into a statement about a preferred future or goal.From: “I’ll never be able to have the life I really want.”
To: “So you’d like to be able to move toward the life you really want.”
3. Presuppose that changes and progress toward goals will occur by using words such as “when” and “will.”
From: “No one wants to be around me.”To: “So when you begin to notice that there are people who enjoy your company and want
to be around you what will be different for you?”

Changing Views and Actions
• Learn from clients the problematic patterns that repeat
• Identify specific incidents to find descriptions and patterns
• Relationship to problems: Learn how clients situate themselves in relation to concerns and problems. Listen for “I,” “Me,” “Myself,” or “We” statements as opposed “You,” “He,” “She,” “Him,” “Her,” “They,” “Them” statements (Note: Be aware of cultural differences in language)
• Explore coping style
• Explore preparation for change

The Costs of Negativity• A recent study shows that extensive discussions of problems and
encouragement of ‘‘problem talk,’’ rehashing the details of problems, speculating about problems, and dwelling on negative affect in particular, leads to a significant increase in the stress hormone cortisol, which predicts increased depression and anxiety over time.
• People who are in a more positive mood are better liked by others and more open to new ideas and experiences.

Pathway 4:Depatterning
• Find and alter repetitive patterns of action and interaction that are involved with the problem (Aspects of Context)
• Change the frequency• Change the timing• Change the duration• Change the location

Pathway 5Repatterning
• Find and use solution patterns of action and interaction• Search for exception patterns• Find out about any helpful changes that have happened before
services began (preservice change)• Find out what happens when the problem ends or starts to end• Search for contexts in which the client, family member, or other feels
competent and has good problem-solving or creative skills• Find out why the problem isn’t worse• Rituals of continuity and connection
