abstract="Both the Stages of Change Model (transtheoretical model [TTM]) and solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) are widely used when counseling substance abusing clients, and there is broad support in the literature to document their effectiveness. Likewise, SFBT has also been applied in the martial and family counseling setting with good results. The authors found no documentation in the literature integrating the TTM and SFBT as a therapeutic technique. As both models are widely used, accepted, and have been empirically validated, after reviewing the pertinent literature, the authors propose a methodology incorporating both the TTM and the SFBT when working with non-substance abusing clients and their families.<p />",
