Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy emphasises preferred futures and existing exceptions rather than exhaustive problem analysis. It is brief and goal-oriented. It does not diagnose.
Scaling questions, miracle questions, exception questions, and small-step commitments are common. The therapist highlights client resources.
The stance is curious, hopeful, and structuring; problem talk is minimised. Each session seeks concrete progress markers.
Deep trauma or acute risk may need additional frames; solution language alone may not suffice.
No automated diagnosis or lengthy formulation report is implied.
In PsychSupervisor, solution-focused selection reflects goals, exceptions, and progress as decision support.
How it appears in the app
In PsychSupervisor you choose Solution-Focused Brief Therapy as the theoretical frame when opening a case; the session transcript is read through that lens. The report is organised under five standard headings: Session Overview Summary, Developmental Assessment, Session Evaluation, Theory-Based Evaluation of Therapist Interventions, and Recommended Therapy Plan. After speaker roles are assigned, text is structured in the selected approach; evidence-mode sections stay tied to the transcript, while narrative-mode sections may summarise flow. Outputs support supervision and record-keeping as clinical decision support; they do not assign diagnoses, prescribe medication, or replace emergency care. The clinician verifies the transcript and retains final clinical judgment.
