The Emergence of Integrative Approaches to Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Choi Jung-Jin

Abstract
Objectives: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) has continued to evolve, inductively growing into a practical model of family therapy. To investigate ¡°what is used in the practice of SFBT,¡± the researcher conducted 12 interviews with solution-focused counselors.

Methods: All interviews were recorded with the consent of the participants and transcribed verbatim. Grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss and Corbin (1998) was adapted for theoretical sampling. Data were analyzed following the three-step process of open, axial, and selective coding.

Results: Although all participants identified SFBT as their default therapeutic approach, their applications of the model were different in many ways. A common and central phenomenon discovered during the study was the participants¡¯ orientation toward using SFBT in integrative ways. The participants tended to interpret the client-centered core philosophy of SFBT in broad ways. Many participants mentioned that they would utilize various strategies from other therapeutic approaches with SFBT if it could help clients efficiently.

Conclusions: This study identified an emergence of integrative approaches among the study participants. The results indicate that better use of integrative approaches will depend on SFBT practitioners and researchers discussing how and why these adaptations to the model have been made.
