Abstract :Social work is a discipline and profession that intervenes in individuals who have lost their functionality as a result of negative events in their lives by getting rid of negative thought and behavior patterns and regaining their former functionality, strengthening the individual by making him/her aware of his/her strengths and effective role in his/her life, and striving for the complete well-being of the individual. When the relevant literature is examined, it is understood that the basic philosophy and assumptions of the solution-focusedbrief approach, which has been proven to contribute to achieving effective results in a short time in social work interventions, overlap with the basic values of the social work discipline and are preferred by social workers in the context of some advantages provided by its methods and techniques. From this point of view, this article will introduce the short-term solution-focused approach, evaluate it from the perspective of social work and try to explain how it can be used in social work practices through a fictional case focused on exam anxiety.
