The specific skills I decided to use were exception questions, coping questions, future focused questions, and normalization. Currently, solution-focused therapy is increasingly being adopted in social work practice in schools, in child and adolescent practice, and in domestic violence. (turner) Exception questions are used to discover times when the problem was not present or was less problematic. To help find ideas that the customer may have used in the past to solve the problem. Coping questions help clients understand when they were coping with the problem and what they were doing to deal with it. Normalizing statements let the client know that they are not the only person experiencing problems like theirs. Future focused questions allow the client to focus on the solution/future of what they want their life to be like.
