Abstract;In recent years, school counseling has become the focus of increased attention. At school, clinical psychologists and psychiatrists acting as counselors try to solve such problems as bullying and rejection among children. This paper describes two cases in which school counseling with a solution-focused approach was used. Case 1: In this case, we focused on "the Exception" when interviewing a seventhgrade girl who complained of being bullied. Her situation improved after only one interview session. Case 2: In this case, our method focused on "the solution" when we interviewed the mother of a third-grade girl who was experiencing problems in her relationship with her parents. In this case, the situation improved after three sessions. As a result of these above approaches, we could improve these problems within a short time by focusing on "the exception" and "the solution" in the 2 cases described in this paper. (author abst.)
