"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."

"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."
Journal of Mental Health
"[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."

"Bannink has created an invaluable instruction manual that is likely to become highlighted and dog-eared extensively over time (as my own copy already has)."
The Therapist - Dean R. Bender
"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."
Yvonne Dolan
"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."
