- 1. SFBT Summary
- 2. Fundamental Differences between SFBT and other modalities • Problem-focused language • The past • What’s wrong • Blame • Control • The expert knows best • Deficits • Complications • Definitions • Solution-focused language • The future • What’s working • Progress • Influence • Collaboration • Resources • Simplicity • Actions
- 3. The foundations of SFBT SFBT is famously theory-free, but heavily influenced by certain philosophies: • Social constructionism- people create rather than discover themselves and other people through their interactions with them. • Buddhism- especially the Zen idea of ‘beginner’s mind’ • Wittgenstein- suggested that meaning was the result of collective human activity and could only be fully grasped in its practical context.
- 4. The miracle question This may seem like a strange question to ask, but please bear with me. Imagine going about your life as normal and heading off to sleep at the usual time. Unknown to you, during the night, something happens – a miracle. When you wake up the following day, something exciting has happened. The very problem that brought you to see me today is no longer there. What would be the very first difference you would notice in your life?
- 5. Typical replies to the MQ Response 1. Realistic and positive. 2. Wildly unrealistic. 3. ‘Don’t know’ 4. ‘I’ll be dead’ What to do 1. Build on this foundation. Do more of what is working 2. Explore the underlying thinking/values/perspectives. 3. Use a third eye perspective- ‘What would your best friend notice?’ 4. Risk assessment. Then, depending upon the RA possibly develop the alternative universe scenario.
- 6. Helpful follow up questions to the MQ • How will you know the miracle has happened? • What will others (parents, partner, children, work colleagues, etc.) notice about you that makes them aware things are different or better? • What would their reaction be? What would they do? • What would you do next? • What would we see (feelings, thoughts, and behaviour) if we compared a before and after picture? • Have you ever seen elements of this happen before?
- 7. SCALING can be applied in different ways for different purposes- some examples To establish a start point: on a scale of 0 – 10, where are you now? To measure confidence and motivation: on a scale of 0-10, how confident do you feel in changing things? To measure the likelihood of something happening: on a scale of 10-0, how likely is this to happen? The key here is to introduce the idea of incremental change

- 10. Another approach SIMPLE S solutions not problems. I inbetween, not individual. The action is in the interaction. M make use of what’s there. P possibilities, (past. present, future). L language; simply said- clear and not complicated. E every case is different.
Editor's Notes
- Discovering what works and doing more of it, is generally a positive, enjoyable and empowering activity for all concerned. By cultivating what is Already happening as the seeds of change, you nurture growth through small initiating events. Asking: When does success happen already? Vs. When do you go wrong? Generates a different conversation. Energy, enthusiasm and cooperation are frequent and welcome side effects.
- To start to find what’s working, we set up a scale from 0 – 10, where the outcome is `10 and 0 is complete opposite. Where does the coachee rate themselves now on the scale? Perhaps surprisingly the answer to this is not 0, but usually rather higher- perhaps 3. There are some signs that small pieces of the outcome may be already happening occasionally.
- The focus on solutions (not problems), the future (not the past) and on what’s going well (rather than what’s gone wrong) leads to a positive and pragmatic way of making progress.
