NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY

From School Problems
to Brief Therapy Solutions
PRESENTED BY Monte Bobele, PhD, ABPP

The Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Nova Southeastern University is offering “From School Problems to Brief Therapy Solutions,” presented by Monte Bobele, Ph.D., ABPP. The workshop will demonstrate the application of solution-focused techniques with minority youth and their families. Dr. Bobele will cover standard brief therapy methods, as well as specific solution-focused strategies for assisting participants with their own cases.

Therapists in many settings are called upon to deal with young people’s difficulties at school. Frequently, these behavioral problems can be resolved quickly using brief therapy methods. Solution-focused therapy, which focuses on strengths and resources within the family, are especially appropriate in working with underserved minority client populations.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to identify the basic principles of brief
    solution focused therapy.
  2. Participants will understand the application of brief SFT to school
    related problems.
  3. Participants will learn at least three SFT techniques that can be applied
    to their everyday practice.
  4. Participants will understand the role of cultural values in formulating
    therapeutic interventions
