CAT and Solution Focused Brief Therapy: What do they have in common?
Inferences about a problem's purpose, function, or origin are unnecessary
The resources to the client needs in order to solve his problem lie within him already
Eliciting of future solutions
Verbal scales
Very small change is all that is required in order to set the ball rolling
Transference/Contertransference are not used, or even acknowledged
Clarity is provided by the Client
Solutions are provided by the Client
Utilisation
All the credit for improvement is meant to be taken by the Client
Meet the Client at her model of the World
There are many potential 'Truths', some of which inhibit change, and others which promote it

Tip 2: Look for signs that indicate that change will be maintained
Tip 3: Normalise when it happens
Tip 4: Focus on what has been achieved so far
Tip 5: Apply again what worked before
Bringing new life to stagnating change
Excellent performance is based on strengths

Step 1: Identifying Talents
Step 2: Applying and using Strengths
Step 3: Managing Weaknesses
Looking at the Other Side of the Coin
Author (s): Insoo Kim Berg & Coert Visser (2005)

we can generate much simpler and easier solutions to them so that
we can focus our attention on more difficult and time consuming issues.
