ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to examine the significance of applying solution-focused
approach (referred to as “SFA”) to people with limited expression, to compare
SFA with problem-oriented approach based on Bradshaw’s Taxonomy of Need. One
case supported by social worker of the home nursing support office was the
subject of analysis. Excerpts from the supporting records that used SFA were
used to describe specifically how the questions were asked and how the cases
responded. In this study, we show that SFA has a certain effect on the
voluntary decision making of them, even for the persons with the constraint of
the will expression.
