Creativity and Family Therapy Theory Development

David-J-Kiser, Fred-P-Piercy

Abstract

The authors conducted in-depth interviews with 12 of the founders and significant contributors of solution-focused therapy and three internationally known therapists with close associations to the Brief Family Therapy Center, where solution-focused therapy initially developed. From these interviews, the authors identified conditions that supported the founders’ work. They discuss their findings in relation to creativity and therapeutic theory development.
