Question

This question, used by solution focused therapist, is intended to circumvent clients global and unremitting perceptions of the problem and direct their attention to times in the past or present when they didn't have the problem.

Answer 1

Answer: Exception Question

Step-by-step explanation:

Exception questions are used in Solution focused therapies. They are used to discover instances when a client's problem could have manifested itself but did not or was less severe.

It is a shift from focusing on the problem to finding ways to achieve a solution. An example is: Tell me about a time when the situation made you angry but you overcame our anger.

This method also makes use of miracle questions, encouraging clients to imagine a life without their problem and a scaling question which asks clients to rate their problem, or the likelihood they would react to a certain situation in a particular way. This can be on a scale from 0 to 10.
