Solution Focussed
Approaches to Helping:
               Scaling
           Nathan Loynes
Scaling Questions

Steve De Shazer (1940 -2005)
Co-founder of the solution focussed
 approach with Insoo Kim Berg.
After asking a client “what is better since
 last time?” The client said “I’m nearly a 10
 now”.
Hence, numbers used to understand
 development
Benefits

Easy to use
Focus on change
Focus on clients phenomenological
 existence (Like Person Centred)
Broad application
Scaling… ‘Steps’




1. Explain the scale
Alternative scales:
Where are we now?




                2. The current position
Like a jigsaw…




      3. Establish a platform:
        Find out what has
        already worked.
Vision
         Visualise a higher
          position; describe
          how things will look.
Success and Strengths

 5. Identify earlier
 success – what
 happened?
Small steps

         6. Step forward – Ask
         the client what small
         steps they could take
Types of Scale

Success scale
Motivational scale
Confidence scale
Independence scale
Conclusion
Being a cognitively flexible mentor might mean
 that at times you have cause to employ solution
 focussed techniques. This might be when:
Discussions of the problem are creating
 stagnation and or frustration.
The mentee is in a contemplative stage of
 considering the benefits of change.
You are being motivational (interviewing).
You are empowering the mentee to employ
 divergent thinking and offer their own solutions
 that are more likely to succeed than mentor led
 solutions.
