Solution-focused social rehabilitation

Abstract

As social change continues, resulting, among others, in a different nature of interpersonal relations or greater access to various stimulants, there is an increase in the number of young people’s behaviours which can be called maladaptive. The question about effective ways of helping young people who manifest symptoms of social maladaptation remains valid. This article is a voice in this discussion and an attempt to present a model of RES -ocialisation focused on solutions, developed in clinical conditions within the space of a specific institution, which is a 24/7 Youth Addiction Treatment Clinic in Toruń. This model draws on the Solution-Focused Approach and falls within the post-modern paradigm of social rehabilitation, using the idea of social construction of opportunities that occurs through and by means of language. It is based on the processes of reification, signification and extrapolation.
