Conceptual and Technical Adaptability of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Taiwanese Clients: A Thematic Analytical Qualitative Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This qualitative study examined the lived experiences of Taiwanese counselors in applying solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) to work with Taiwanese clients of ethnic Chinese heritage in Taiwan. Specifically, this investigation explored the conceptual and technical compatibility between SFBT and traditional Taiwanese cultural values and norms. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 15 SFBT-practicing counselors, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results yielded two main themes and 11 embedded subthemes. Importantly, the main themes highlighting SFBT’s cultural relevance and adaptability with Taiwanese clients are represented by Theme 1: Conceptual and Philosophical Compatibility Between SFBT Principles and Taiwanese Cultural Values, and Theme 2: Technical Compatibility and Adaptation of the SFBT Techniques to the Taiwanese Culture. Based on these thematic results, the interconnection between SFBT and Taiwanese-Chinese cultural values, beliefs, and norms is analyzed and explained. As well, the study’s implications for future research are considered and discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
