The paper presents the Proactive solution brief Therapy which uses an assessment procedure called the Proactive Solution Brief Assessment (PSBA) to demonstrate the therapeutic process. Explanations on therapeutic actions in the practice of the Proactive Solution Brief Therapy (PSBT) are presented in form of five areas of questioning or exploration as it relates to a client’s interest in what he or she is already doing that could help achieve the solution.
