SOLUTION FOCUS THERAPY
The focus is on the client's health rather than the problem, on strengths rather than weaknesses or deficits, and on skills, resources and coping abilities that would help in reaching future goals.
Solution-Focused Model
Change is constant and certain.
Emphasis should be on what is changeable and possible.
Clients must want to change.
Clients are the experts in therapy and must develop their own goals.
Clients already have the resources and strengths to solve their problems.
Therapy is short-term
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY
The leading role is to help people identify their thoughts and behaviours, specifically regarding their relationships, surroundings, and life, so that they can influence those thoughts and behaviours for the better.
Cognitive restructuring or reframing.
Guided discovery.
Exposure therapy.
Journaling and thought records.
Activity scheduling and behaviour activation.
Behavioural experiments.
Relaxation and stress reduction techniques.
Role playing.
ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY
Acceptance and commitment therapy invites people to open to unpleasant feelings, learn not to overreact to them, and not avoid situations where they are invoked. Its therapeutic effect aims to be a positive spiral where a greater understanding of one's emotions leads to a better understanding of the truth.
Six core processes of ACT: acceptance, cognitive defusion, being present, self as context, valuing, and committed action.
ACT has been used effectively to help treat workplace stress, test anxiety, social anxiety disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychosis. It has also been used to help treat medical conditions such as chronic pain, substance abuse, and diabetes.
NARRATIVE THERAPY
Narrative therapy is a method of therapy that separates a person from their problem. It encourages people to rely on their own skills to minimize problems that exist in their lives. Throughout life, individual experiences become personal stories. People give these stories meaning, and the stories help shape a person’s identity. Narrative therapy uses the power of these stories to help people discover their life purpose. This is often done by assigning that person the role of “narrator” in their own story.
