Jane is a 42 year old married mother of 4 children who was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis - a neurological disorder that often leads to motor weakness, speech disturbance, and other cognitive symptoms. She presented for counseling to Mark, who is currently involved in a Solution Focused Training program. As Mark conducted his intake assessment of Jane, he determined that Jane was experiencing symptoms of depression that were particularly related to her loss of sensation in her feet and lack of coordination. Jane further reported that as her symptoms have progressed, she is aware that when she goes out to run errands or do activities with her children, people generally treat her "differently" than before she became ill. Marks asks Jane the question, "If while you were sleeping
something happened to make everything better, how would you know that things were better in the morning?". Mark's question is an example of which of the following Solution Focused Interventions?
