Taking the radical and effective counselling model known as Solution-FocusedBrief Therapy, they have adapted the concepts and techniques of this approach into a story in which the characters use Solution-Focused questions as part of everyday conversations.The reader is taken on a journey with the central character, the Jogger, as she deals with the fears and anxieties we all recognise in the pandemic era. The story develops beautifully, and every page contains gems of wisdom; a favourite of mine is the idea of the ‘inner backpack’.The clarity of the writing will give professionals already acquainted with the Solution-Focused approach many new ways of constructing useful conversations with those they work with.Primarily, though, this book will be of tremendous help to so many struggling with uncertainty and stress, and the lessons it delivers are relevant to the way we manage our lives now and in the future."-Harvey Ratner, co-founder of BRIEF"The pandemic has challenged us all in so many ways. As well as exacerbating our worries for our mental health, the restrictions of lockdown increase the risk that our hopes and dreams will fade as we struggle to find ways of dealing with the impact of COVID-19. This book offers an alternative, inviting us to look to the future and to celebrate what we are doing that is working, to focus on our capabilities rather than our failings. Beyond Coping is born out of a particular time, but its valuable guidance will be just as applicable when the pandemic is history." -Evan George, co-founder of BRIEF Show less
