Assignment 9 – Chapter 11
Constructive therapists, especially solution-focused therapists, generally emphasize that therapy must be a practical and brief activity. Constructive therapists generally conduct therapy on a schedule that is more brief than most therapy orientations. Based upon this premised, and the information presented in this chapter, answer the following:
a. Do you think change can truly take place in 6-10 sessions. Why/why not? Give examples.
b. Is it appropriate, or ethical to base one’s therapy approach on what happens to the average person who enters therapy? What are the dangers/risks that might be encountered by the therapist, as well as the client?
c. Based on the information from the previous chapters, which theorists do you think might be able to incorporate this view into their existing theories, and which would not. Why?
This assignment should be a minimum of 2 ½ pages.
