Solution Focused World Day
Since 2019 the Solution Focused community have celebrated the approach, the practice,
methode and mindset on May the 3rd. It's an opportunity to gather face-to-face and online
celebrating and sharing across nations, continents, associations stories, experiences,
exercises related to Solution Focused.
What's going to happen...
Since the spring of 2020, we have come a long way in the fight against covid 19. Vaccination is becoming possible for more and more of us, and hopefully there are prospects for us to meet at the World Conference 2022 in Frankfurt, what a great reunion. Until then, we must meet in smaller units, and online.
And ONLINE we can meet and we have SF World Day to celebrate and YOU still have a network, community, friends and colleagues, who would like to meet up for a festive celebration of a very special approach, - an approach
originated from the thoughts of Insoo Kim Berg and Steve de Shazer.

Steve de Shazer and the team at Brief Family Therapy Centre (BFTC) did away with homeostasis and killed resistance
(they built a shrine and buried it in one of the observation rooms at BFTC in 1978) and instead invented collaboration
as a metaphor for the interaction between the family/client and therapist/team.
This is much more than a simple change of words.
Once you stop seeing “resistance” and instead sees “collaboration” it systematically changes your behavior
as a therapist and it changes the interactional patterns in the system of “family-therapy-as-a-system”.
Thus new patterns of interactions developed that could no longer be adequately described within the old theories.
New concepts had to be developed so that the new interactional patterns could be included in the theory.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy could not have happened if this shift had not been in place.
The paper "The death of Resistance" was published in 1984.
The first attempt at publishing it was in 1979 and it was rejected 17 times.
The acceptance date for publication in Family Process was May 3'd 1983.
