Summer School
Since the BRIEF team came together in 1988 every year has seen a change in how we talk about, and how we do, solution focused brief therapy.
Twenty-one years on our passion for this work is undimmed and our pursuit of a dynamic minimalism is as committed as ever. Year by year we have questioned every aspect of our practice and our thinking behind it, we have experimented by dropping what we think might be unnecessary, sometimes to return to what we have dropped and sometimes to leave it behind.
Each time a particular practice has been dropped we have found ourselves attending more closely to other aspects of our conversations with clients.
So far, there has always been something to question and something new to learn. This Summer School will become part of BRIEF’s journey.
- The exact content and shape of the week will be drafted much closer to the time and what actually happens will depend on the interactions between all involved. What is certain is that the week will be packed with variety; it will be hard work, practical and fun.
- There will be exercises, exercises and more exercises, taking the best from our vast and constantly replenishing repertoire of skill-developing activities.
- There will be taped sessions illustrating every aspect of our practice with virtually every client group of interest to participants.
- There will be live therapy sessions with BRIEF clients
- There will be coaching sessions with course participants
- There will be discussion, comparison and debate about the many forms solution focused practice now takes
- Finally, there will be a chance to participate in and contribute to a key moment in the development of solution focused brief therapy and, subsequently, to write for publication on how the experience helped shape your practice.
- And then there are the evenings out and about in London!
