Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is rooted in constructivism epistemology that believes there is no absolute truth in interpreting the reality of the world. Individuals construct their own understanding and meaning of the world through language and experiencing things. 

Thus, SFBT is a strength-based, future-focused, and goal-directed approach that helps individuals resolve present problems by building on their existing resources and previously applied effective solutions.

This book represents a paradigm shift for counselors from largely pathology-centred therapies to a building-solutions centred one. Fundamental assumptions are that clients are the experts of their lives and have the resources to deal with their problems. 

The interventions involved clients to look for exceptions, the times when a problem was not very severe or did not occur. The look for exceptions enables clients to realize that they are capable of changing and in control of their situation.
