Solution Focused Practice in End-of-Life and Grief Counseling

Joel Simon

In solution-focused therapy, all that is required is a client's vision of how his or her life might be different and more satisfying. Especially applicable to facing end-of-life issues: those who are dying, those who are about to lose a loved one, and those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, solution-focused therapy helps clients think of possibilities rather than limitations. The ultimate goal of the book is to challenge the reader's assumptions about how to work with clients with life-limiting diseases and their families. It serves to show that solution-focused practice can be a useful approach in end-of-life and bereavement work. Including a general overview of solution-focused practice, tools and methodologies for practitioners as well as vignettes and transcripts from actual patients, it is a complete resource for professionals in bereavement care. Key Features: Applies solution-focused therapy (SFT) to bereavement and grief counseling Includes transcripts and vignettes from actual cases Written by a top practitioner with 17 years of experience in SFT A valuable tool for social workers, hospice workers, psychologists and other bereavement and grief-counseling professionals [Top of Page] Table of Contents Foreword Preface PART I: INTRODUCTION Chapter 1: Hospice: History and Philosophy Chapter 2: The Historical Context of Solution Focused Practice PART II: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF SOLUTION FOCUS Chapter 3: Use of Language in Solution Focus Chapter 4: Principles of Solution-Building Chapter 5: The Tools of Solution-Building PART III: APPLYING SOLUTION FOCUS PRACTICE TO END-OF-LIFE AND GRIEF COUNSELING Chapter 6: Stories of Healing: SF and the Dying Patient Chapter 7: Expect the Unexpected: Solution Focus with Widowed Client Chapter 8: The Other Woman: Solution Focus with a Bereaved Family Chapter 9: Changing Perspectives: Solution Focus with a Bereaving Client Afterword: Eulogy References Index
