History

We have developed our ideas from many strands of thought and practice. The main precursors include:

the systems thinking and communication research of Gregory Bateson
the psychotherapeutic genius of Milton Erickson
the 'Interactional View' developed by John Weakland and co-workers
and the shift from problem to solution focus led by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg

You can download Chapter 15 of The Solutions Focus (2nd edition) here. This chapter explains the development of SF ideas and their move into business and organisational change contexts. You will also discover how Mark himself came across SF ideas, how he has worked to re-conceptualise them for a business audience, and the rise of the SolWorld (www.solworld.org) organisation in sharing and building SF practice in organisations.
