Abstract

This paper investigates the use of Solution Focussed Therapy with a student at-risk. It looks at some of its fundamental tenets and provides the practitioner with an understanding of its benefits. The political nature of youth suicide now makes it necessary for practitioners to start investigating preventative programs. It is argued that Solution Focussed Therapy offers skills to School Psychologists and Counsellors in the area of prevention. In addition, the focus on "client as expert" moves therapy away from problems and more into solutions.
