Each year the Brief Therapy Practice organises three or four large International
Presentations. The Practice invites the world's leaders in the field of solution
focused brief therapy to talk about developments in their work, to show video-tape
and to discuss with participants.These presentations have made a substantial contribution
to practice in the United Kingdom and further afield.
Below are detailed descriptions of our forthcoming international presentations.

HARRY KORMAN LIVE!
2 - 3 October 2008
Harry is a psychiatrist and solution focused brief therapist in Sweden. In 1995 he established the internet discussion forum known as the SFT-List which he continues to manage to this day.
Consequently he is one of the world's best known solution focused practitioners, a reputation
cemented by his co-authorship of the recently published More than Miracles, the last book to
feature the work of the founders of the approach Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg.
He presents his work throughout the world and is a very popular and thought-provoking presenter.
This will be a unique opportunity to observe Harry working with clients at BRIEF, with those attending working as his 'team'.
Places will be limited therefore early application is advisable.

How to become a truly effective and evidence-based therapist - Scott Miller
19 - 20 March 2009 - London
Thanks to a number of recent studies, there is now solid empirical evidence for what distinguishes highly effective therapists.
In this workshop, participants will learn in detail the qualities and practices that separate the great from the good. Participants will also find out about a system of feedback procedures that can be used to develop a profile of their most and least effective moments in therapy—what works and what doesn’t.
Not only will attendees get a far more exact idea of their clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings in to improve their own practice, but they will also come away with concrete tools that will immediately boost clinical abilities and effectiveness.
Scott D. Miller, Ph.D. is a co-founder of the Institute for the Study of Therapeutice Change a private group of clinicians and researchers dedicated to studying “what works” in mental health and substance abuse treatment.
He works as a therapist providing all clinical services pro bono to traditionally under served clients and is the author of numerous articles and co-author of Working with the Problem Drinker:A Solution Focused Approach (with Insoo Berg [Norton, 1992]), The "Miracle" Method: A Radically New Approach to Problem Drinking (with Insoo Kim Berg [Norton, 1995]), Finding the Adult Within: A Solution-Focused Self-Help Guide (with Barbara McFarland [Brief Therapy Center Press, 1995]),
Handbook of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Foundations,Applications, and Research (with Mark Hubble and Barry Duncan [Jossey-Bass, 1996]
