Abstract

This chapter reviews the development of SFBT outcome research chronologically, beginning with the first compilation of outcome studies by the European Brief Therapy Association (EBTA) described by Macdonald. It then discusses the first systematic review of controlled SFBT outcome studies published by Gingerich and Eisengart, followed by the meta-analytic reviews of Stams et al. and Kim. Finally, it reviews several important studies that have appeared since the meta-analyses and concludes with a summary of SFBT outcome research to date.

... Konseling singkat berfokus solusi merupakan model konseling yang cenderung dilaksanakan secara singkat, namun mampu memberikan dampak yang efektif dalam mengatasi berbagai permasalahan psikologis (W. J. Gingerich, Kim, Stams, & Macdonald, 2011;Gupta, 2019;Kelly, Kelly, Kim, & Franklin, 2008;Kim, 2010;Miller, 2010). Beberapa studi sebelumnya telah mencatat bahwa model konseling singkat berfokus solusi ini dapat dilakukan secara jarak jauh melalui jaringan internet, seperti berbasis web, serta bentuk media online lainnya (Chen, 2020;Hawkins, 2020;Ifdil et al., 2020) Penggunaan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi (ICT) merupakan metode yang baru dalam konseling (Mateo R. Borbon & Borbon, 2013;Kadek Suranata, Rangka, & Permana, 2020) mampu memberikan keuntungan yaitu dari segi waktu yang lebih efisien (Hedman et al., 2011). ...

  • Jun 2021
The global Covid-19 pandemic has affected changes in various dimensions of life. In Indonesia, schools have adopted a policy of replacing face-to-face learning in schools with distance learning activities. The effect that occurs with learning activities at home is a decrease in healthy living behavior among students. This study aims to examine the effect of solution-focused brief counseling implemented through LMS Schoology to improve students’ healthy living behavior. This experimental study used a one-group pretest-posttest design. Of the 60 students who took part in the initial screening with the criteria for experiencing a healthy lifestyle disorder, only 15 students met the criteria. The Indonesian version of the Inventory Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile [HPLP II] was used to measure students’ health behavior before and after participating in the intervention. The scale of acceptability, accessibility, feasibility (AAF) measured student responses to the acceptability and usefulness of the program. Analysis of research data related to the effect of an intervention on students’ healthy living behavior using a one-sample t-test. Student response data on the acceptability and usefulness of the program through descriptive analysis. The results showed that after participating in the program for an average of 8 weeks (an average of 16 LMS accesses), participants achieved a significant improvement in their average lifestyle and health (HPLP). The effect size of Cohen’s high d value shows a large effect size for this counseling program. AAF data also supports this result, with an average of 95% of students understanding the program and being able to implement it well, is accessible, and provides benefits for them. This research has theoretical and practical implications for guidance and counseling services in schools related to various dynamics that occur, including the condition of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The Effectiveness of a Worksheet Program Based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in Decreasing the Function of School Refusal Behavior: ― A Longitudinal Study of Three Years in Junior High School ―
Article
  • Apr 2023
In this study, the researchers conducted a Solution-Focused program based on the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for 128 junior high school students (67 males and 61 females) in their first and second grades. The purpose of this study is to reveal the transition of the function of school refusal behavior scores after the implementation of the program and to examine the relationship between the effects of the “Solution-Focused program” in the first and second grades as well as the function of school refusal behavior in the third grade. A decrease in the function of school refusal behavior was found in a certain number of students after undergoing the Solution-Focused program in the first and second grades. Students who showed a decrease in the function of school refusal behavior throughout the two years exhibited a lower school refusal behavior in third grade than others. Thus, the researchers found that the implementation of the Solution-Focused program using worksheets based on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is effective in preventing school refusal among junior high school students.

Article
Full-text available
  • Oct 2022
  • CHILD YOUTH SERV REV
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact on child welfare of introducing solution-focused principles and intervention techniques in the local child protection service of the island of Tenerife, Spain. 152 workers from 34 local child protection teams participated in the study. Goal achievement, parentś and childreńs self-reported well-being, and statutory child welfare measures were recorded during one year. Then the child protection teams were randomly assigned to a control or an experimental condition. 73 workers in the experimental condition, serving 271 families, received 30 hours of training and 30 hours of supervision in solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT). 79 workers in the control condition, serving 206 families, continued to intervene as usual. The dependent variables were evaluated again in the experimental and in the control group one year after the supervision in SFBT had finished. Results indicate that the experimental and the control group had equivalent outcomes at pre-test. At post-test, the experimental group achieved better outcomes than the control group: workerś and parentś goal achievement ratings as well as parentś and childreńs well-being ratings were higher, fewer cases had been referred to risk teams, fewer children had been removed from their homes and recidivism was lower. The effects were small for goal achievement, medium for recidivism, and large for well-being and child removal. The teams that used SFBT reached these outcomes with fewer sessions and allocating fewer additional resources than the control group.

Process-Outcome Relationships and Solution-Based Goal-Setting Interventions With Grandparent Caregivers
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2021
The present study examines the impact of change processes on outcomes in a solution-based thinking and goal-setting intervention for grandparents raising their grandchildren. We found that across the 6 program sessions there was stability and/or increases in the salience of hypothesized change processes, i.e., hopefulness about the future, solution-based thinking, positive thoughts about one's grandchild, multiple indicators of decisional personal goal-setting regarding one's own well-being and grandchild relationship quality. Indicators of change processes were for the most part, related to both post-program outcomes as well as to pre-post program outcome difference scores. Regression analyses suggested that change processes in many cases partially mediated pre-post primary program outcome scores. These data suggest that how grandmother caregivers think about themselves and their grandchildren and their approach to setting personal goals are key change processes explaining the impact of a solution-based, goal-setting intervention on them.

Using Solution-Focused Principles With Older Children Who Stutter and Their Parents to Elicit Perspectives of Therapeutic Change
Article
  • Dec 2020
Purpose We previously presented findings from pretherapy solution-focused interviews regarding the therapeutic best hopes of older children who stutter (CWS) and their parents. The current follow-up study explored the same clients' solution-focused reflections 1 year later with respect to their perspectives of what changes had occurred over the course of therapy. Method Seven CWS (11–14 years old) and 12 of their parents, who were interviewed in the original Berquez et al. (2015) study, were interviewed again 1 year after they started therapy. These clients responded to open-ended, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT)–style questions and rating scales. Their responses were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed to identify what clients noticed had changed over the course of therapy. Result CWS and their parents reported changes spanning social communication abilities, cognitive-emotional skills, and speech management strategies. While these were consistent with their pretherapy best hopes, CWS and their parents identified additional, unexpected gains beyond the scope of what they originally hoped for at the beginning of therapy, including improvements in adaptive coping, academic experience, parent–child interactions, thoughts and feelings about stuttering, and personal growth. Conclusion SFBT can provide speech-language pathologists a framework for facilitating client reflections on positive signs of change that occur over the therapeutic process.

The Effectiveness of a Solution-Focused, Public Alternative School for Dropout Prevention and Retrieval
Article

  • Jul 2007
  • Child Sch
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a solution-focused, alternative school in preventing students from dropping out of high school. A quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest group design was used with 85 students to examine differences in credits earned, attendance, and graduation rates. Follow-up data on students in the experimental group were also obtained to track their postsecondary education decisions. Results showed students in the experimental group earned significantly more credits over time than students from the comparison group. More than half of the experimental group had entered a postgraduate education program after graduating from the solution-focused alternative school (SFAS). Conversely, students in the comparison group had higher attendance and graduation rates, but this outcome was found to be related to the differences in the two programs' attendance and graduation policies.The SFAS appears to show promise as an intervention for reducing dropout rates for at-risk adolescents and enabling them to earn high school credits and graduate from high school over time.

Treatment of problem drinking behavior using solution-focused therapy: A single subject design
Article
  • Jan 1996
Problem drinking behavior, along with various treatment procedures, is discussed in the context of our society and of the workplace. The technique of solution-focused therapy is described and then applied to a single case. A single subject design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the solution-focused therapy. The participant attended six sessions of solution focused therapy after initially requesting assistance from the EAP program. Baseline data were collected using archival information and client history self report. Progress was evaluated at one week intervals using the criteria of abstinence as reported by the participant and his spouse, and work attendance as indicated on company attendance records. During the six week period, the rate of work attendance and number of days increased indicating an improvement in problem drinking behavior.

Solution-focused therapy and psychosocial adjustment to orthopedic rehabilitation in a work hardening program
Article
  • Jan 1997
  • J OCCUP REHABIL
Orthopedic rehabilitation programs utilizing a multidisciplinary approach invite a greater appreciation for the factors which influence the recovery process. This study evaluated variables associated with the psychosocial adjustment of work hardening program participants when exposed to Solution-Focused psychotherapy. Orthopedic patients receiving workers' compensation were engaged in a work hardening program in which they received either Solution-Focused therapy or the standard rehabilitation protocol. Patients and spouses completed questionnaires designed to evaluate psychosocial coping and adjustment to a medical condition. Patients across all investigated orthopedic categories demonstrated enhanced adjustment to their condition when treatment groups were compared with control groups. It is proposed that Solution-Focused therapy, in conjunction with work hardening protocols, is effective for patients when developing effective coping responses to the stressors associated with orthopedic rehabilitation.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Groupwork with At-Risk Junior High School Students: Enhancing the Bottom Line
Article
  • Sep 2004
  • RES SOCIAL WORK PRAC
Despite the preliminary studies that support solution-focused brief therapy, limited research has examined the model as a group intervention with students at risk for academic underachievement and school nonattendance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the model on school attendance and grade point average. Solution-focused brief therapy was evaluated through a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest comparison group design in which 26 students receiving the intervention were compared to 26 students who did not. Compared to students who did not receive the intervention, students in the treatment group increased their grade point average from pretreatment to posttreatment. Conversely, no differences were found between the two groups on attendance. Solution-focused brief therapy shows promise as a group intervention with at-risk students. Moreover, the findings suggest the continued support of the model during a time in which K-12 education emphasizes accountability, hard data, and the bottom line.

Solution-Focused Couples Group
Article
  • Dec 2001
  • J Syst Ther
Solution-focused therapy has been used with individuals, couples, and groups of individuals, but a search of the relevant literature revealed no information on its use with couples' groups—clinical or nonclinical. The purpose of this study was to develop a solution-focused program for a couples' group and to test its effectiveness. A single-case research design was used with a multiple baseline assessment strategy across subjects. Participants' improvement on measures of marital satisfaction and specific goal achievement was considered in evaluating effectiveness. Investigators inspected the data visually in order to detect individual differences and variation as well as trends and overall patterns of scores over time. Five couples completed the program. Marital satisfaction was measured using the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS; Busby, Christensen, Crane, & Larson, 1995) and the Kansas Marital Satisfaction Scale (KMS; Schumm, Jurich, & Bollman, 1990). On both measures, seven of the ten participants showed improvement between baseline and intervention scores. Two participants showed little change in scores and one participant recorded a decline in score. A Self-Report Goal Sheet utilizing a 0 to 10 scale was used to record progress toward individual and couple goals. Eight participants reported progress, one reported no change, and one reported a decline on both types of goals. The results of this study lend support to the supposition of positive outcomes from solution-focused couples' group work as well as the value of visual inspection of data from small sample research.
