More Than Miracles: The State of the Art of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a professional psychotherapy text that consolidates and extends key ideas from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, the approach associated with Steve de Shazer and colleagues from the Milwaukee Brief Family Therapy Center tradition. Rather than analyzing problems in depth, the book emphasizes how therapists can help clients describe a preferred future, notice strengths, and take small, practical steps toward change. Written in an applied, training-oriented style, it uses detailed clinical dialogue and commentary to demonstrate how solution-focused conversations are built moment by moment. The aim is not to offer a broad survey of counseling theories, but to sharpen a specific set of skills: asking questions that invite useful descriptions, tracking client language, and collaborating without taking an expert stance. As a Routledge Mental Health Classic Editions title, it is positioned as a durable reference for practitioners and students who want both a coherent overview of the model and close-up examples of how it sounds in real sessions.
More Than Miracles is best suited to clinicians, supervisors, and graduate students who want to strengthen real-world skill in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy rather than simply understand it in principle. Readers who benefit most are those who learn from close attention to therapeutic dialogue, including the exact phrasing of questions and the way therapists respond to client language in the moment. Practitioners can take away a workable set of tools for brief, goal-oriented work: building a preferred future description, using the Miracle Question to clarify goals, tracking change with scaling, and identifying exceptions that reveal existing resources. The book also offers an intellectual payoff for readers interested in how meaning is negotiated in conversation and how that negotiation can influence emotions and behavior without extended problem analysis. Compared with many general counseling texts, it stands out for its disciplined focus on what therapists actually say and do, and for its commitment to a collaborative stance that treats clients as experts on their lives. Compared with more introductory SFBT guides, it is less a quick how-to and more a deeper, practice-close study of language, stance, and method. For readers willing to engage carefully, it serves as both a training companion and a durable reference.
