INTRODUCTION

Steve de Shazer
Some years ago (I refuse to remember how many), Insoo Kim
Berg and I agreed to edit a special issue of Contemporary Family
Therapy devoted to applications of and development in Solution-Focused Brief Therapywhen we found the time. William Nichols, the
editor who issued the invitation, showed tremendous faith at the time
and since then an enormous amount of patience. I hope that he has
found the articles in this collection worth the wait: we did.
Over the years I have found it very difficult to find the time,
primarily because I have never figured out where to look for it. We
have always been too busy. However, along the way, we ran into various people who had developed applications of SFBT that we found
very interesting. At some point in 1995 we decided that there was
more than enough material for a special journal issue.
The authors come from widely separated places on the globe
(from Seoul, Korea to Oslo, Norway, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin), and
the work described involves an equally wide range. Family medicine,
public health, research on therapy in prison, and dieting are some of
the topics you will find explored in this issue.
If you find the time, we would like to know how interesting and/or
useful this issue is for you. Drop us a note when you get around to it.

Contemporary Family Therapy, 19(1), March 1997
