First, on Goodreads, 2 stars means "It was OK" and 3 was "I liked it". This book was OK, hence the 2 stars.

Before I picked up this book, I thought, Solution Focused therapy might be my 'thing'. After reading this book (on solution focused therapy)...my thoughts have changed slightly. I am grateful for the chance to read about a theory and get to know it better, and especially thankful for the transcripts of sessions in this book (to be able to see how a SF counselor interacts with the client), but I don't think that this theory is 100% me.

Reasons I am FOR solution focused therapy:
Believes that clients have the solutions within themselves and the counselor is really there to just help client work it out. (Client autonomy!)
Still being unconditionally accepting of client.

But when I read the book, I didn't feel it clicked with me. The counselor talked SO much--bleh.

There might be another SF book out there to bring me back, but I'm going to explore other theories now...
