“…This theory holds that focusing on clients' strengths and resiliencies leads to positive changes (Murray & Murray, 2004;Walter & Peller, 1992). SFT shifts the focus of therapy away from explaining problems and instead highlights exceptions to the problem (i.e., times when the problem does not occur or occurs less) and solutions (i.e., what life will or does look like when the problem does not exist) (DeJong & Berg, 1998;O'Connell, 1998). An important assumption of SFT is that clients have the ability to create their own solutions based on resources to which they already have access (Murray & Murray, 2004;Walter & Peller, 1992).…”

“…The field of MFT has demonstrated a gradual shift away from approaches that focus on pathology and dysfunction toward approaches that focus on resources and strengths (O'Connell, 1998). One important strength-based approach that emerged in recent years is Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT;Brief Family Therapy Center, 2007), which serves as the theoretical foundation for the CRMS.…”

“…Within SFT, clinicians work with clients to co-construct solutions to presenting problems and promote progress in therapy (Friedman & Lipchik, 1999). The solution-focused therapist assumes a nonexpert stance (DeJong & Berg, 1998;O'Connell, 1998;Walter & Peller, 1992), and therefore the clinician should assume that the client will be the best judge of how well an identified resource may apply to a particular presenting problem. Overall, we recommend that the CRMS be used primarily as a starting point for therapeutic conversation rather than as a diagnostic instrument.…”

Abstract:This article describes an examination of the concurrent and criterion-related validity of the Couples Resource Map Scales (CRMS), a 63-item assessment instrument designed to assess the levels of support available to couples from various personal, relationship, and contextual resources. The sample of 1,103 participants included representatives of a nonclinical population and clients in therapy. The results supported the validity of the CRMS (a) by demonstrating statistically significant relationships between the three Resource Area Scales and other measures of related constructs, (b) through a regression analysis linking the CRMS Resource Area Scales to relationship satisfaction, and (c) by examining the differences in scores between the clinical and nonclinical samples. Implications for using the CRMS with clients are outlined.

“…A solution-focused leader (1) focuses on the potential of stakeholders; (2) clarifies the hopes, goals, and aspirations; (3) considers how might be tapped into the resources even more in order to achieve these goals by remembering small steps make a big difference; (4) challenges any negative self-talk; (5) focuses on the preferred future as a leader and considers how can be done more of what works; and (6) clarifies immediate action plans and next steps (O'Connell, Palmer, & Williams, 2012). In many ways, this is not a surprising development; the pragmatic and effective nature of the approach matches the desire for efficient ways to make progress found in most organisations (Cavanagh & Grant, 2010;de Shazer, 1988;O'Connell, 1998). Although more and more solution-oriented people work in organisations, solution-focused approach is still widely seen as a therapy, coaching, training or facilitating approach, but not yet as a leadership style (Grant, Franklin, & Langford, 2002).…”

The aim of this study was to develop a new brief scale to determine school administrators' solution-focused school leadership features. Additionally, it was aimed to explore the psychometric properties including factor structure, reliability and validity analysis of the Solution-Focused School Leadership Scale (SFSLS). The data were collected from 192 teachers. The results of the study suggested two-factor subscales for SFSLS. Factor structure of SFSLS was examined by means of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. In general, the SFSLS demonstrated adequate model fit, showed strong internal consistency and correlated with the SFSLS subscales. In total, the findings support that the SFSLS is a valid and reliable measure to determine school administrators' solution-focused school leadership features. This scale can be considered crucial in determination of school administrators' solution-focused school leadership features so that solution-focused school management strategies can be developed to handle various problems of schools.

“…Problemle, problemin kökeni ile ya da düşünce kalıplarıyla uğraşmanın bir anlamı yoktur. Kuramsal olarak, danışanın ve terapistin olaylar üzerine konuştuğu ve düşündüğü şekilde değişim sağlanır; başka bir deyişle, problemler ve çözümler gerçekte verilmesi gereken şeyler değildir ancak danışan ve danışanın dünyasındaki diğerleri ile etkileşiminden doğar (Jackson ve McKergow, 2002;Cavanagh ve Grant, 2010, O'Connell, 1998.…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Solution Focused Inventory (SFI). This inventory was developed by Grant, Cavanagh Kleitman, Spence, Lakota and Yu (2012) and has 12 items and three sub-scales. The sample of the study consists of 176 university students. The linguistic convenience and validity were supported by the positive correlation between the scores of the English and Turkish forms. The correlation coefficients were .92 for Problem disengagement sub-scale, .94 for Goal-orientation sub-scale, .91 for Resource Activation. This inventory's Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results were RMSEA= .072 CFI= .94, IFI= .94, TLI=.91, GFI=.93, AGFI=.87. Key Words: solution focused thinking, inventory, reliability, validity SUMMARY Purpose and significance: This study aims to adapt a solution focused inventory for assessing the solution focused change. Solution Focused Inventory is an instrument which is designed to fill the gap in a reliable and functional instrument for solution focused approaches.
