Abstrakt
This paper seeks to describe developments in the field of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) over the past decade. I suggest that we have already seen the arrival of a new form of SFBT, heavily focused on descriptions and of an even simpler form than the original SFBT developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg and colleagues.
This new form is still distinctly SFBT in terms of the priorities and focus of its original predecessors, but it also omits many elements that were taken from earlier traditions of family therapy and brief therapy during its initial development. The name "SFBT 2.0" is designed to help avoid confusion with earlier forms while maintaining that it is not a new therapy but an important development of existing practice.
