løsningsfokusert

løsningsfokusert is a term often used in psychology and counseling, translating to "solution-focused" in English. It describes an approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Instead of analyzing the causes of a problem in depth, a løsningsfokusert approach focuses on identifying existing strengths and resources within the individual or situation that can be leveraged to create positive change.

The core principle is that by focusing on what is working and what the desired future looks like, individuals can more effectively move towards achieving their goals. This often involves asking questions that highlight past successes, exceptions to the problem, and the client's vision for a better outcome. The therapist or counselor acts as a facilitator, guiding the client to discover their own solutions and build upon their capabilities.

This approach is known for its brevity and efficiency, aiming to achieve noticeable progress in a relatively short period. It's characterized by a collaborative relationship between the practitioner and the client, where the client is seen as the expert on their own life. The emphasis is on empowering individuals to take active steps towards their desired future.
