Harvey Ratner, BRIEF, London, UK
‘Hopes, signs, instances: Developing a different language for Solution Focused Practice’
Harvey is a founding member of BRIEF, Solution Focused training, therapy and coaching agency established in London in 1989 with fellow social workers Evan George and Chris Iveson, and is co-director of the Diploma in Solution Focused Practice. Their publications include Solution Focused Brief Therapy: 100 Key Points and Techniques. Inspired by Steve de Shazer’s drive to create a therapeutic approach using the simplest and most minimal means possible, the team evolved the opening question for clients ‘what are your best hopes from our work together?’ which has been the foundation of their work for nearly 20 years. Over that time the team has developed its idiosyncratic version of Solution Focused Practice, and in this presentation Harvey will describe the developments with illustrations from videos of client work

Essex Divisional Based Intervention Team
In this discussion, we will be looking at how much information we receive, what form this takes and what we do with it all. And despite all of this information, we know that from a Solution Focused standpoint, we don’t need any information in order to start work with someone and ask them their best hopes from our work. So how do we manage this so that we are in a position to provide the best possible intervention for those we are working with.
