Notes:
Based on these assumptions, the model instructs therapists to do the following in their sessions with clients:
1. Ask questions rather than “selling” answers;
2. Notice and reinforce evidence of the client’s positive qualities, strengths, resources, and general competence to solve their own problems;
3. Work with what people can do rather than focusing on what they can’t do;
4. Pinpoint the behaviors a client is already engaging in that are helpful and effective and find new ways to facilitate problem-solving through these behaviors;
5. Focus on the details of the solution instead of the problem;
6. Develop action plans that work for the client (Focus on Solutions, 2013).
