This chapter examines how SFBT can help individuals or groups that have been affected by war or internal conflict overcome and deal with challenges inherent in their circumstances. SFBT is an approach that empowers people and helps people affected by war move toward what they want for themselves and for each other. This chapter describes how SFBT appeals to people across cultures, experiences, and values and is applicable in any situation where people are looking for something better for themselves or others they care about. This chapter discusses how SFBT practitioners use a positive, collaborative, hopeful stance with people affected by war. Looking for exceptions to the problems people bring, as well as previous solutions, strengths, resources, and abilities their clients already have, complimenting people and asking questions with a future orientation is explored in the chapter.
