What he meant is that brief therapy is not ‘quick’ therapy. It does not give the impression of being rushed or cluttered – of trying to squeeze in more techniques per minute than any other approach. Indeed, the slower it proceeds, the more effective it is likely to be. It becomes more collaborative as the therapist shows a willingness to adapt to the client’s pace and needs, rather than enforcing a scripted agenda. This encourages client motivation and participation so that fewer mistakes are likely to be made, fewer blind alleys and red herrings are likely to be pursued, and fewer sessions are likely to be required.

Therefore, most of the examples will be of this kind. Hazards and opportunities The relevant question is not theoretical but severely practical: what is different about working with families, and what are the potential hazards and opportunities in a particular situation?

In order to establish optimum conditions for reflection, we need to foster a relationship with clients that encourages an emotional environment of safe play, where clients feel safe enough to take risks and play with future possibilities. Only then will they engage with the therapist’s techniques. It is salutary to remember that a therapeutic technique does not directly ‘do’ anything for a person; rather it is the person who does something with the technique (Neimeyer, 1995). If we cannot create the optimum conditions for reflection, clients may simply not ‘do anything’ with our questions, no matter how well they are crafted.
