“Blundo and Simon have successfully outlined how a solution-focused
perspective can be a powerful tool for case managers. Their understanding and presentation is based upon practice scenarios that are real and
applied...They clearly demonstrate the impact of ‘thinking and language’ and the importance of building a collaborative relationship
with clients. Their work challenges the traditional theory-driven interventions that focus on problems and arrive at a diagnosis
. They encourage a ‘shift’ to a co-constructive partnership that requires a practitioner to respect
that clients are ‘experts of their own lives’…They provide a clear step-wise discussion of techniques and strategies that can be employed working with
individuals and families in case management
settings. This book is a must read.”

From the Foreword
Solution-focused practice is a paradigm that stresses client abilities, strengths, and individual goals rather than disability. Written by a team of
educator/practitioners noted for their expertise in solution-focused therapy, this “how-to” text for social work, counseling, and psychology students
guides current and future case managers in learning this strengths-based, collaborative approach to case management. It discusses both the philosophical
basis for solution-focused casework and demonstrates how it is ideally suited for the case management process. The book is based on teaching materials the
authors have developed and used in their classes and workshops with undergraduate and graduate students and professionals.
The text incorporates new research and theoretical developments in solution-focused therapy as well as actual practice scenarios demonstrating the process
of building a collaborative relationship with individual clients and families. Replete with strategies and tools for practicing solution-focused case
management, the text describes such essential skills as identifying goals, monitoring progress, working with other agencies, and transitioning out of
treatment. It discusses issues related to ethical practice and presents strategies for self-care. Additionally, the book addresses diversity and social
justice and their relationships to solution-focused practice. Student exercises help to reinforce knowledge. The text will assist case managers in a
variety of settings—hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, community-based mental health agencies, schools, prisons, court systems, and
shelters for the homeless and victims of domestic violence—to partner with their clients towards finding strengths-based and solution-focused approaches to
resolving issues in a positive way.
