Solution Focused Brief Therapy: A Multicultural Approach is a timely text that outlines the basics of solution focused therapy then applies the approach to a range of multicultural populations. The book is intended for students in training to learn the SFBT method from a multiculturally competent approach.

The third chapter presents the evidence for using SFBT and then discusses the effectiveness of the approach.
