title: [Solution focused brief therapy in psychiatric practice].
abstract: Solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a form of psychotherapy that reinforces clients' strengths and focuses on what clients want to replace their problems with. Research shows that SFBT is beneficial and cost-effective and makes the psychiatrist's work more satisfying. It can be used as primary psychotherapy, for instance during crisis intervention, or even as an addition to pharmacotherapy.
