About the Course

This landmark book addresses all of the core and clinical competencies in the solution-focused and strategic therapies, including learning and applying a conceptual map, developing and maintaining an effective therapeutic alliance, and intervention planning. With the patience of an experienced teacher and knowledge of a master therapist, Dr. Quick shows how to move from minimal competency to higher levels of proficiency. She teaches therapists how to tailor treatment to their clients’ unique strengths and proficiencies, discover and amplify what works, and change what doesn’t. The lessons learned in this book will allow readers to continue to advance their competency skills long after they have put it down.

This course is based on the book, Core Competencies in the Solution-focused and Strategic Therapies: Becoming a Highly Competent Solution-focused and Strategic Therapist created by Ellen Quick, Ph.D.
