Solution-focused interviewing effectively engages involuntary clients by focusing on their goals and strengths. This approach fosters cooperation and positive change in mandated social work practice.

Area of Science:

  • Social Work Practice
  • Client Engagement Strategies

Background:

  • Traditional social work models are often ineffective with involuntary clients.
  • Existing models can alienate or disengage mandated populations.

Observation:

  • This article examines solution-focused interviewing (SFI) for engaging involuntary clients.
  • A case study illustrates SFI with a court-ordered client.

Findings:

  • Adopting a 'not-knowing' stance helps build rapport.
  • Amplifying client desires, strengths, and successes is key.
  • Relationship questions facilitate co-constructing cooperation and change.

Implications:

  • SFI offers a noncoercive, nonconfrontational engagement method.
