The SFADS invites practitioners to explore the working alliance with their clients and to notice its different qualities, offering opportunities for learning and reflection among practitioners, students, and supervisees.

Solution-Focused Alliance Dynamic Scale (SFADS)

Exploring the Dynamics of the Therapeutic Alliance

Welcome to the SFADS Resource Section, a dedicated space for practitioners, supervisors, and researchers interested in exploring the nuances of the therapeutic alliance from a solution-focused perspective.

Here you can access the pilot version 1.1 materials developed within the Solution-Focused Alliance Dynamic Scale Training and Research Program. These tools are designed to enhance reflection, supervision, and professional learning, helping practitioners attune more closely to the evolving qualities of the working alliance.

The resource package includes:

Practitioner and Client Reflection Forms – to encourage parallel exploration of the alliance.
Session Summary Sheets – to capture progress and subtle shifts across sessions.
Comparison Templates and Expert Feedback Forms – to support supervision and collaborative dialogue.

Together, these materials invite users to reflect on key alliance dimensions such as rapport, shared goals, agency, resilience, and belief in the client—central elements of effective solution-focused practice.

All materials are intended for educational and research use only, and should be used with appropriate care and confidentiality in supervision, training, and reflective practice.

Enjoy your exploration and reflection with SFADS — where research meets practice in the art of solution-focused dialogue.
