This article reviews the video recording Brief Solution Focused Therapy in Health Care Setting. This is a video series of workshop on brief therapy produced by the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work in the U.S. The preface to the workshop's workbook says that while most media and workshop content on brief therapy focuses on mental health appointments in offices or agencies, this one addresses the use of such interventions with those experiencing biopsychosocial problems in living and or the physical or mentally ill in a broad range of settings such as a waiting room, the home of a client and a hospital. It encourages participants to think about such work in relation to organizations and communities as well. It also discusses work in single episodes, acute chronic and terminal conditions. Furthermore, the preface explains that the workshop uses a strengths perspective and provides confirmation and coaching in the dynamic use of the self and in specific strategies for rapid assessment, promotion of patient ownership in outcomes and finding a positive future focus. The goal of brief solution-focuses therapy in health care is to increase positive patterns. The video demonstrates the use of time-lines and life-lines to help clients see what they want to accomplish as well as the results of their work.
