最近在讀這本書 "Children's Solution Work " Insoo Kim Berg 及 Therese Steiner 合著的書，Insoo 是 Solution-Focused Brief Therapy 的元老級人物， 她也是 the Director of the Brief Family Therapy Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.

能找到這本書蠻興奮的，書感覺比來蠻淺顯易懂的，有簡單介紹理論背景，還有如何跟兒童及他們的家長一起工作的寶貴臨床經驗。這一篇是關於如何建立工作團隊的大原則，雖然不到兩頁敘述卻很受用，尤其對我目前的環境而言是些好提醒，以下是摘錄：

' 1. Be sure to keep in mind your goal with the client and parent. '
i.e. How the concern would be helpful for th child?

' 2. Reframing as a usful tool. '
i.e. conflicts between colleagues- It was apparent that you all thought about what is best for the child and want the best chance for the child to succeed in the school/program, and it would be worthwhile to investigate which approach might be the most useful.

' 3. Always compliment other professionals and always give the credit to someone else. '
i.e. If the child begins to do better since starting therpy with you, give the credit to the teacher/parent for having laid for all hte important foundations for the child to finally bloom.

' 4.Summarize and periodically remind the child of the professinals' good intentions. '

' 5. Make liberal use of tentative language. '
i.e. "It seems..." "It sounds like what you really want is..." "I wonder..." "Perhaps..." "Could it be..."
