“I am pleased that so many people have found this book helpful. The most common feedback I’ve received is that it is written in clear and down to earth language. As someone who admires people who can make complex ideas accessible, that gives me a lot of satisfaction.” Bill O’Connell

'Having read a substantial amount of literature in brief therapy, I found this book to be one of the best I have come across. O'Connell communicates his ideas in a clear and rational way and most importantly with an essential dose of humanity. I would recommend this book to almost everyone regardless of their professional backgrounds as it instills a sense of hope and change.'

'This second edition of Solution-Focused Therapy is a readable, open-minded overview of solution-focused therapy, which is ideal for beginners and students. While it is aimed at counsellors and therapists, it is also designed for use by other disciplines. O'Connell really works to make SFT as accessible as possible.'

'This book is the most readable and well-argued introduction to SFT that I have yet seen.'

'This is an easy-to-read and informative book emphasising respect for, and the autonomy of, the client.'
