Abstract: | Strategic brief therapy involves defining the problem, exploring the attempted solutions, developing new solutions, and convincing the client to try them. Three cases from an outpatient clinic are presented to illustrate the use of this therapy in a clinic practice. Advantages of the approach are discussed, and modifications arising from the application of research-derived techniques in a clinical setting are described.
