This book is a collection of solution focused practice across Asia, offering case examples from the fields of therapy, supervision, education, coaching and organisation consulting. It demonstrates the usefulness of the solution focused approach in the Asian context by providing practice based evidence, and highlights the diversity of application. By sharing real case examples in action across Asia, it is the aim of this book to stimulate the curious and inspire the converted. It gives readers a taste of what it is like to use this approach within an Asian context, in different areas of practice and within a broad spectrum of clinical issues. The examples offer exciting and creative ways in which solution focused practice can be used within the Asian context - with the hope that more practitioners will be curious enough to give solution focused practice serious consideration as a viable, evidence-based practice.

Reviews

"Asia is a big continent with many voices; by adding those voices to the international Solution Focused community this book is making a uniquely important contribution to the development of future practice in all its forms." - Chris Iveson, BRIEF London.

"This book stands out as an exemplar of how Solution-Focused practices can be appropriately adapted and applied to the Asian cultures and situations described. It will stand out as a wonderful text for anyone studying either SF practices in a variety of areas (counselling, schools, management, organizations, coaching) or adaptations of a major approach to particular cultural contexts. It is written in reader-friendly language, easily perused and adapted to one's own practice." - Thorana S. Nelson, PhD, Professor Emerita, Utah State University
