| Summary |
This book provides a behavioural change model that is solution-focused. It concentrates on finding a solution to a problem and setting that solution in place by way of a partnership between the carer and the person with the behavioural problem - difficulties are recognised and solutions are achieved; success is acknowledged and rewarded. Within this kind of positive context, many people can be supported in their efforts to develop behaviours that are more fulfilling for themselves and for those around them. It is made clear, however, that this is a co-operative model which means it cannot be applied where comprehension is absent |
