Abstract

Solution-focused letter writing has been used to provide clients a means of connecting sessions, focusing on strengths, and working toward positive change. In addition, the therapeutic use of letter writing may help therapists themselves refocus on hope. This article details how solution-focused letter writing was used in a university-based practicum to both facilitate change with clients and train beginning therapists. Letter writing was helpful to team and therapist as well as to clients.
