(as my own copy already has)."

"This book is excellent; well written, clear, precise, and
thorough…I highly recommend the book and have already touted it to
some of my colleagues. I will personally be studying the book many
more hours to learn and get comfortable with the several great
techniques and applications that are included in it...could be used
as a primary teaching or learning text."
*Dean R. Bender, MFT - The Therapist*
"[A] great guide for anyone wishing to undertake solution-focused
work.... [C]ase examples throughout the book illustrate the
techniques and help to put the skills into clinically relevant
context.... [I]t has equipped me with new possibilities to use in
sessions and given me something to look at differently and from a
different angle."
*Journal of Mental Health*
"M]uch more than the title implies. It is a clearly outlined way of
conducting solution-focused sessions from the interview at the
beginning to the projected end."
*Betty Alice Erickson - The Milton H. Erickson Foundation
Newsletter*
"This generous and appealing book offers a wide selection of
well-constructed solution-focused questions, engaging training
exercises, and creative therapeutic strategies that therapists at
all levels of experience and expertise are sure to find
useful."
*Yvonne Dolan, MA, Director of the Institute for Solution-focused
Brief Therapy, Past President of the Solution-focused Brief Therapy
Association*
"Bannink is an effective and practical communicator. She listens
very carefully and attentively,
and when she makes a move she is fast and asks questions that
direct the minds
involved to focus on what is useful for what is wanted. Easy to
say, hard to do! This book is
full of practical wisdom that she cultivated over the years of
solution building experiences with people."
*Aoki Yasuteru, President, Solution Focus Consulting Inc., Japan*
