Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on the strengths and resources of clients, and is assumed to achieve positive results on various psychosocial outcomes. This meta-analysis is an extension of previous meta-analyses on SFBT, and examines if the effectiveness of SFBT is influenced by participant, intervention, study and publication characteristics.
Experimental and quasi-experimental studies were included. A three-level meta-analysis was performed on 72 studies and 489 effect sizes, accounting for within and between study differences.
The overall effect of SFBT on psychosocial problems was large (g = 1.17). Moderator analyses revealed larger effects of SFBT in non-clinical samples (g = 1.50) than in clinical samples (g = 0.78). Studies with treatment-as-usual (TAU) as control condition reported smaller effects (g = 0.58) than studies with a no-treatment control condition (g = 1.59). Relatively large effects were found for couples (g = 3.02) compared to other client groups (0.41 < g < 1.70), and marital functioning (g = 3.02) compared to other outcomes (0.23 < g < 1.31). Group therapy (g = 1.64) yielded a larger effect than individual therapy (g = 0.48).
The findings indicate that SFBT is applicable for a variety of clients and psychosocial problems.
聚焦解决短期疗法(SFBT)关注客户的优势和资源,并假定在各种社会心理结果上取得积极成果。本荟萃分析是对 SFBT 先前荟萃分析的扩展,考察了 SFBT 的有效性是否受参与者、干预、研究和出版特征的影响。
纳入实验和准实验研究。对 72 项研究和 489 个效应量进行了三级荟萃分析,考虑了研究内和研究间的差异。
SFBT 对社会心理问题的总体效果较大(g=1.17)。调节分析显示,SFBT 在非临床样本中的效果更大(g=1.50),而在临床样本中的效果较小(g=0.78)。以常规治疗(TAU)作为对照条件的研究报告的效果较小(g=0.58),而无治疗对照条件的研究报告的效果较大(g=1.59)。与其他客户群体(0.41<g<1.70)相比,夫妻组(g=3.02)的效果相对较大,与其他结果(0.23<g<1.31)相比,婚姻功能组(g=3.02)的效果较大。与个体治疗(g=0.48)相比,团体治疗(g=1.64)的效果更大。
研究结果表明,SFBT 适用于各种客户和社会心理问题。
