Workshop Outline:
In 2025 Anne-Marie Wulf and Dr Jacqui von Cziffra-Bergs published “Women’s Perspectives on the Solution Focused Approach – International Applications and Interventions” for Routledge publishing. The book contains 17 women’s stories on how they applied the Solution Focused approach in 16 different contexts and in 14 different countries. This year Anne-Marie and Jacqui have used the chapters as raw data to publish a research article on the common factors of women using the Solution Focused approach. The findings of the research have uncovered common “doings” and common elements that we do not do.
Part 1 of this webinar will be an interview with Anne-Marie Wulf on our research findings. Anne-Marie will discuss the common elements of what a Solution Focused practitioner does. She will give a detailed description of what the data tells us about what it looks like to apply the Solution Focused Approach. Anne-Marie will also discuss what we do NOT do in our application and intervention.
Part 2 of the webinar is a summary and reflective discussion with Dr Jacqui von Cziffra-Bergs. In this part of the webinar Dr Jacqui will be discussing a framework of what being a Solution Focused practitioner means and what DOING Solution Focused Brief Therapy looks like. Dr Jacqui will also be looking at what the research tells us about how Solution Focused Brief Therapy becomes not only a therapeutic approach but also a life philosophy. This part of the webinar will unpack how working in a Solution Focused way has a direct effect on the therapists world view and impacts their personal life.
