Solution-Focused Therapy as a Culturally Acknowledging Approach with American Indians

Dixie D. Meyer, R. Rocco Cottone

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Limited literature is available applying specific theoretical orientations with American Indians. Solution-focused therapy may be appropriate, given the client-identified solutions, the egalitarian counselor/client relationship, the use of relationships, and the view that change is inevitable. However, adaption of scaling questions and the miracle question may be necessary.
