Ratner, H., George, E., & Iveson, C. (2012). Solution Focused Brief Therapy: 100 key points and techniques. Hove: Routledge.

This is a very readable informative book. I am particularly grateful to this book: when first starting out I would refer to it all the time! You will find lots of useful examples and practical advice in here.

 

Burns, K. (2016). Focus on solutions: a health professional’s guide (second edition). London: Solutions Books

A great book describing in detail the author’s experience of using Solution Focused Brief Therapy when working with adults with acquired communication difficulties.

 

Bliss, E. and Edmonds, G. (2007) A Self-Determined Future with Asperger Syndrome: Solution Focused Approaches

This book is also very readable and shows how adaptable an approach Solution Focused Brief Therapy can be. I loved the examples of problem-free talk!
