Summary Whilst solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) has become a widely used form of
psychotherapy in the UK, there is little published writing on its use in services for
people with learning disabilities. This article briefly discusses SFBT’s potential uses
with this client group, and provides by way of illustration a case example of its
application with a man with mild learning disabilities referred to a learning
disability clinical psychology service for ‘anger management’.
