John and Rita Sommers-Flanagans' culturally sensitive, seven-dimension model offers new ways to collaboratively integrate solution-focused and strengths-based strategies into clinical interactions and treatment planning with children, adolescents, and adults. Each chapter contains diverse case studies and key practitioner guidance points to deepen learning in addition to a wellness practice intervention to elevate mood. Personal and professional self-care and emotional preparation techniques are emphasized, as are ethical issues, counselor competencies, and clinically nuanced skill building. *Requests for digital versions from ACA can be found on *To purchase print copies, please visit the ACAhttps://imis.counseling.org/store/ *Reproduction requests for material from books published by ACA should be directed topublications@counseling.org [Publisher's Text]
