Solution-focused therapists can be seen as specialists
who can be employed on a temporary basis
to assist clients with MID in achieving their therapy
objectives. These temporary contributions become
more sustainable if staff works in a solution-focused
manner in their everyday practice. This entails
adopting a solution-focused attitude by staff and making use of solution-focused conversation skills in
supporting clients. Finally, unlike other therapies,
there is empirical evidence that SFBT is equally
effective for all socioeconomic groups (MacDonald
2007). People with MID are often economically
disadvantaged and usually belong to lower social
groups; the finding that they too can benefit from
SFBT is certainly encouraging
