Highlights from a workshop providing insights into working with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and stuttering.

This "taster" introduces viewers to the principles and practice of SFBT, providing examples of children, parents, and teenagers describing their "best hopes" for the future, using scales to determine the skills and resources they already have to attain that future and identifying the small signs of change along the way.
