CLINICAL INTERVENTIONS PART III OF V

Solution Focused (brief): The main idea for the Solution focused Brief therapy is to prioritize tasks during a short period of time. In the Muslim community there are factors that may not work well within the constraints of Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Consider the work it may take for obtaining self-efficacy. Improvements of self-esteem and/or self-confidence are acquired over a longer period before interventions make a difference in a person’s life. The cultural considerations of family interconnectedness may be another circumstance that obstructs the results-oriented Solution Focused Therapy (Sue & Sue, 2019, p. 189).

Reality Therapy/Choice theory: a form of therapy that aims to help people with unmet needs, set goals, problem solve, and create more meaningful connections with others. It recognizes five basic human needs that must be met to allow for healthy functioning and life satisfaction (Good Therapy, 2015a):

• Survival (food, water, shelter, sexual fulfillment)

• Love and Belonging (via family, friendships, community, etc.)

• Power (sense of accomplishment, self-confidence, self-esteem)

• Freedom (independence, sufficient personal space, autonomy)

• Fun (satisfaction, pleasure, and enjoyment)
