This comprehensive guide explores the latest developments in solution-focused practice with adults, with an emphasis on practical, hands-on advice for clinicians working in this diverse field.

Grounded in decades of clinical experience and international research, the Bruges Model offers an integrative approach that empowers clients to rediscover their own strengths and achieve meaningful change in a relatively short time. Developed by renowned psychiatrist Luc Isebaert and his collaborators at the Korzybski Institute in Bruges, this work combines solution-focused practice, systemic thinking, and cognitive principles into a coherent framework for effective therapeutic work. Rich in clinical applications and real-world examples, this volume demonstrates how therapists can foster autonomy, activate existing resources, and build strong therapeutic alliances across diverse contexts. Expert contributors discuss a range of prominent disorders in adult therapy and counselling, including depression, anxiety disorders, suicide prevention, solution-focused approaches to ADHD, obsessive and compulsive habits, and addiction, offering a range of concrete interventions and effective therapeutic techniques. In addition to these diagnostic chapters which consider neurophysiological, psychological and systemic perspectives, the book covers solution-focused supervision, single session therapy, and extra-short sessions.

Written by internationally recognized experts in solution-focused therapy, this book is an essential resource for psychotherapists, counselors, psychologists, and students seeking a practical, evidence-informed approach to helping clients create satisfying and sustainable change.
