Keynote speach: The Next Generation of SF Practice - Dr. Mark McKergow
Mark discussed the continuing evolution of SF work and how focused description building can give a renewed clarity and a useful story about what we do when we 'stretch the world' of our clients.
Three levels of description-building – Dr. Mark Mckergow Mark’s presentation of SF conversations working at three levels (derived from the latest in SF micro-analysis research) is a great way to see how the simplicity of description-building works to help the client ‘stretch their world’ for new opportunities and progress – big questions, description-building small questions, and micro-responses.
Can you talk about Trauma and be solution Focused? - Barry Golten A short presentation on ways in which a Trauma Informed approach do and don’t cross over with Solution Focused principles.
What is happening in the brain during a solution focused conversation? - Dr. Rachel Gilibrand Rachel's session presented research evidence using EEG to monitor what happens in the brain during a solution focused conversation, based on Rachel’s work with Dr Adam Froerer and Mia Lunde Knowing how the brain responds to solution focused conversations will strengthen our understanding of this language-based therapy. The evidence collected will demonstrate how important it is to use solution focused questions in conversation and provide scientific evidence to back up our work.
Playing with Improvisation for Solution Focused Practitioners - Dr Matt Selman Change doesn't occur in vacuum - relational improvisation practices bring a creative collaborative approach to our practice. This experiential workshop introduced ideas for playfulness and creativity that that will fit with within existing solution focused practice. The specific aspects of ‘accept and build’ will be of value when facing feelings of stuckness.
