Abstract
This paper is a brief report on a lecture and workshop, “SFA to suicide prevention” in 8th conference of National Foundation of Brief Therapy held on November 26th and 27th, 2016 at Utsunomiya. A lecturer, Dr. Heather Fiske, gave the workshop on how to encourage clients to get productive choices and to overcome crises of their life: therapists should focus on the slight difference between “intolerable now” and “just barely tolerable after all,” highlight clients’ strengths to keep on living, and not only refrain from suicide but change their frame of problems.
