Samenvatting
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.
