Care as usual is most dissimilar to SFBT in terms
of the role of staff. As applied in the setting mentioned
above, CAU is a type of coaching that
focuses on the problem-solving model. In this
model, the description of client problems and the
formulation of client goals, as well as the coaching
plan and interventions are all primarily performed
by staff. In CAU staff suggest or prescribe the solutions,
serving as the experts who advise clients on
the actions to take to alleviate their problems.
