Book Overview
Solution-focused therapy is often misunderstood to be no more than the techniques it is famous for--pragmatic, future-oriented questions that encourage clients to reconceptualize their problems and build on their strengths.

But as much as we wish we could include anything and everything, it's simply not possible, at least until quantum physics advances and we can post in alternate universes. Below are 31 (out of 114 possible) October monthly observances worthy of giving more love to, plus eight weekly ones (bonus!).
