What is Practical Therapy?
At the Birmingham Family Therapy Clinic our style of brief therapy is called Practical Therapy. Practical Therapy is a theory and method of brief therapy which emphasizes respect and the collaborative efforts of clients and therapists to resolve challenges effectively and provide long-lasting results. Most clients come to counseling with an understanding of the problem that they want to get resolved. Unfortunately, however they have tried to resolve this problem has either kept the situation around or made it worse. Using the Mental Research Institute’s notions of problem formation and resolution as well as the collaborative approaches of Harlene Anderson and systemic therapies, Practical Therapy allows clients to become conversational partners who defined problems, solutions, and the goals needed to resolve them. Counselors working from this method utilize clients’ language, reality, vast resources, and strengths, to develop practical possibilities for long-lasting change. As T.S. Eli
