Solution-Focus Groups
What is
a solution-focused group? In some
groups, there can be an emphasis on deficits, traumas, or other problems that
members seek to relieve through exploration, sharing, and sometimes re-hashing.
While this can be validating in the sense that we find out that we have common
themes and experiences, it is also true that we can find, by shifting the
emphasis in the conversation, that we have common resources, and that we can
help each other identify strengths and potentials we did not know were there.
A
solution-focused group is one that focuses on strengths and resources,
increasing almost exponentially potential solutions to presenting issues and
problems. The positive orientation contributes to an environment where
group members become excited about discovering hidden strengths and
unrecognized internal solutions. I find this kind of work inspiring and
enjoyable, and I am looking forward to working with these groups.
