SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY DISORDERS: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY
CBT, effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders, helps people treated for anxiety improve their quality of life without reaching the level of the people without anxiety. Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) could increase quality of life. This research aims to describe the process of using SFBT for the treatment of anxiety. This qualitative exploratory research uses praxeology and grounded theory. It was conducted with eight patients at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic of the Douglas Mental Health University Institute. The results of this research identify the technical and experiential processes that describe the use of SFBT in the treatment of anxiety.
