Marriage and family therapist Bill O’Hanlon states that the problem with current models of psychology and psychiatry as strategies for change is that they focus on explanations and problems rather than solutions. Unlike many of these approaches solution-oriented therapy is an optimistic and non-pathologizing approach that taps into people’s inherent potential to change. On the next Line One: Your Health Connection, author and therapist, Bill O’Hanlon joins co-host Prentiss Pemberton for a discussion about solution-oriented therapy and the power each of us have to create positive change in our lives.
