The Application of Solution-Focused Work in Employment Counseling
Bezanson, Birdie J.
Journal of Employment Counseling, v41 n4 p183 Dec 2004
The author explores the applicability of a solution-focused therapy (SFT) model as a comprehensive approach to employment counseling. SFT focuses the client on developing a vision of a preferred future and assumes that the client has the talents and resources that can be accessed in the employment counseling process. The solution-focused counselor enters the therapeutic relationship from a point of "not knowing" and works with the client in job transition to develop possibilities that evolve from the client's strengths and knowledge. Examples are given of how solution-focused employment counseling could be practiced.
