According to Solution Focused therapy, how do therapists view solutions to problems?

In Solution Focused therapy, therapists view solutions to problems as unrelated to the development of the problems. This approach emphasizes finding solutions in the present and the future rather than delving into the past experiences or the underlying causes of issues. By focusing on what works and looking for exceptions to problems, therapists help clients identify and build on their strengths and resources.

This perspective allows clients to envision their preferred future and to identify steps toward making that a reality, regardless of the origins of their problems. The idea is that understanding the past is less important than knowing how to create a desired outcome. In Solution Focused therapy, the belief is that clients often hold the keys to their own solutions, and the therapist's role is to facilitate this discovery process.
