Abstract: Research evidence and clinical observation support the importance of family involvement in the treatment of childhood behavior problems, and strengths-based, solution-oriented treatment offers an alternative to a problem-focused treatment approach. The current study provides a systematic review of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) for behavior problems in children and adolescents, and conducts meta-analyses regarding the effectiveness of SFBT compared to control conditions, the moderating role of family involvement in SFBT, and the effects of SFBT for internalizing versus externalizing behaviors.
