Solution Focused with a twist : Brian Cade
Drawing on a life time's experience of working with individuals and families with a wide range of issues, and his close association with Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg as they developed and enhanced the Solution Focused approach, Brian will share how he has blended aspects of Solution Focused Therapy with the earlier work of John Weakland and colleagues mixed in with various other influences and garnished with humour, the absurd and the unpredictable.
