Problem Solving: Find Effective Solutions

SESSION 4 OF 4

Duration 12mins 25secs

In this session, Dr. Nina Josefowitz further demonstrates the problem-solving work initiated in the previous episode. Having helped Julia identify a specific issue, this session she introduces the structured problem-solving process. Dr. Josefowitz guides Julia through brainstorming potential solutions using key principles: quantity, variety, and deferral of judgment. Together, they generate a list of actionable options. They then narrow the list down by evaluating feasibility and potential obstacles. Dr. Josefowitz emphasises specificity, asking Julia to visualise implementation, plan exact timing, and anticipate barriers. The session exemplifies how therapists can foster autonomy and motivation in clients through structured, collaborative, and client-centred problem solving, setting the foundation for actionable follow-through in therapy.
