| Contribution: | Steve's work will always inspire me and i am so grateful for all i was able to learn from him and share with my clients.
i am thankful to have known him and to have many stories and personal interactions with him that put a smile on my face to remember. his vision was revolutionary in our field and i appreciate and take pride in his irreverent pursuit of creating effective therapy , regardless of what the status quo was doing. i do quietly hope ,that the impact of his work grows beyond new applications to new collaborations and challenges. with deep admiration for Steve and condolences to all, thank you for this opportunity to reach out.

| Contribution: | It was no accident that Steve wasn't always "easy" to "get" -- his integrity (and originality) as an artist and thinker meant he never succumbed to "the way things are usually done." He heard (and "spoke") the silences as eloquently as the best of us use words. I will always remember the small moments, taking a group of us for Korean food in New York, sharing jazz and shnapps, the excitement in his eyes when someone "got it" -- the passion for Dr. Who, whose solutions to problems relied on luck as much as deduction. "Shit happens," he used to say, to explain the "bad stuff." No blame, ever. He created a language and a practice for therapy to never again blame the client, however subtly. I am deeply honored to have known and learned from him. Steve, you will be missed. |

| Contribution: | In Steve's presentation in London in 1994 I found exactly what I didn't know I had been looking for, and life changed. I will always be grateful for that.
His few small words of encouragement for me and, it seems, for thousands of people like me have left a permanent impression. How did he do that? |

| Contribution: | Reflecting on how to express the impact Steve had on me, two quotes come to my mind.
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." (E.F. Schumacher) "When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap." (Cynthia Heimel) Before I met Steve I tried hard to be more intelligent and less idiot. Now I try the other way around. |

| Contribution: | i had the pleasure of seeing him working in London 8/9 september 2005. I admired his benign impatience on those two days & hearing him debunk some strange myths I had about SFBT was both hilarious & razor sharp.
I paraphrase here: If you can get results without asking all the questions good- I don't give a shit. so thank you Steve for giving my practice a big kick up the backside. I am sorry in a very selfish way that you won't be around to keep kicking me. |

| Contribution: | Dear Steve,
Feel sad every time, I realise you are gone. Your special style, your special personality, your mistery sometimes and your friendship .... through all those and many more characteristics, you awakened the world with some new insights. Probably no-one can do it that simple as you did ... but your example made us curious to always try to make things more simple ... for us, for our friends, for our clients. You have impacted many lives. I guess many of us can only dream of contributing to a better world so massively as what you did in 65 years on this globe. I want to remember your friendship, your personality and especially your focus on simplicity ... We will try to make our lives and work more simple in honor of you. Always yours, Paul |

| Contribution: | Steve, I just got to know your death until yesterday. I shared with my students my image of you in 1998 in New York for the Milton Erickson Foundation's conference. I ran into you in the hall way after you had a debate about the problem talk and solution talk with another panelist. I told you "that was a good job", and "Steve go." You were very happy and smiled at me. That image of your smile began to appear in my brain since yesterday. I appreciate of what you did for us, the world. I believe we return to where we are from. I wish you are in the peaceful end now. Wish pieces also to your dearest partner, Insoo and daughter. Warmest regards, A-hun |

| Contribution: | Der Tod von Steve ist ein grosser Verlust für uns alle. Er hat eine neue Idee in die Welt gebracht, die sich auf das Zusammenleben der Menschen auf diesem Planeten noch lange positiv auswirken wird.
In den letzten 10 Jahren hat Steve auch in der Schweiz eine grosse Zahl von Seminaren gehalten und hat dabei viele Menschen einen neuen Weg aufgezeigt. Durch ihn hat sich das Berufsverstaendnis vieler Berufsgruppen weiterentwickelt in Richtung von mehr Respekt und Verstaendnis für die Menschen, die sich in einer herausfordernden Lebenssitution befinden.

| Contribution: | I first encountered Steve’s thinking in the ‘Briefer 2’ algorithm. Our team adopted sft as an experiment. I had no idea where that would eventually take my life. I grew to respect Steve more and more as we met and shared experiences. His workshop in London shortly before his death revealed once again his skill at being minimal but hugely influential. I hope that his voice will stay with me and with the many others whom he influenced. I will miss his smile and his advice about beer. My condolences to Insoo and his family. |

His connection to colleagues worldwide is a tribute to the strength of his accomplishment, and he was so fortunate to have Insoo to share the generous offering of their teaching and mentoring to so many wonderful professionals. How did they do that? |

| Contribution: | ... I still have a date in my calendar for next year to translate for Steve and cannot quite erase it, yet.
Everytime I sat next to him to try and put his clear and concise English into German and repeat in English what the clients were saying I learned so much about solution focus, about therapy, about language, about an attidude of wonderment and curiosity, about the fact that clarity and respect are brothers and not enemies. There is so much left to learn. My thoughts and prayers go out to Insoo, the family, Steve's close friends whose loss must be immense. Kirsten |

| Contribution: | Steve,
I probably learned as much from our private contacts than from your teaching. Over the years, those contacts influenced my work probably as much as my life. During this past week, my thoughts were filled more with memories of our social meetings all over Europe then with the Teacher that passed away. We all have lost the person but we, and futur generations of colleagues, will never loose your ideas. May your moral values and you anti-guru-position be a lasting guidepost for our SF community. Insoo, your loss is the most painful and hard. Let the force be with you and may you continue with your atomic-power driven approach to life. Steve, it was an honor to have known you, thanks. louis |

| Contribution: | I had the pleasure of meeting Steve for the first time at Insoo´s and his summer courses in Milwaukee in 2004. I was touched by the respectful, humorous and complementary way they teached together. His special way of "leading from one step behind" during the courses taught me an important and lasting lesson, which has and will make a difference for the students I myself in turn teach. Thank you, Steve. |

| Name: | Joyce Flansburg |
| E-mail address: | jnjflansburg@msn.com |
| Contribution: | I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how important Solution Focus Brief Therapy (SFBT) has been in my ife. I have taught SFBT in the Walla Walla Master of SocialWork program in Missoula, Montana for the last 5 years, using the Solution Focus book that you, InSoo, wrote along with Peter DeJong. Each time I have taught the class,students have expressed how the fog has been cleared for them and their clients when they are able to focus on solutions.
Even though my health was not good, I felt that I just needed to go to the SFBT conference in Park City, Utah this last November. I have been to a conference with you previously, In Soo, but the Park City conference was the first time I met Steve in person. He seemed very genuine and so very easy to talk to. I loved the conversational way in which he answered questions. He clarified for me that Solution Focus Brief therapy is not a model, but a way of thinking. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by the number of lives he touched through his wisdom and solution talk. I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to spend quality time with him, and listen to his stories. My prayers go to you InSoo, and his family. God Bless, Joyce Flansburg, LCSW |

| Contribution: | I did not get a chance to meet with Steve as I am new to Solution Focused. But I had the opportunity and privilege to watch Steve in action on a video tape with Insoo. I am deeply impressed with Steve's work (and Insoo's). I am now spreading SF whenever I can and wherever I go.
Thanks Steve (and Insoo) for teaching me and proding me into spreading the SF approach. I will always remember "Problem talk creates problems. Solution talk creates solutions." God bless you, Steve. |

| Contribution: | In the mornig of Sept. 12th I received a phone call from a colleague in Vienna who had a quite near contact to Steve and Insoo and heard, that Steve left us behind. And I falled in a mood of sadness. And then I remembered the times I met Steve and than I recognized, that Steve left me a so rich and nourishing ground that, instead of staying in sadness I better should take my gardening-tools to use the ground he left behind and to grow in future many, many flowers of Solution Oriented work.
Thank you, Steve, for that ground you left us behind! And I hope, that you, Isoo, will continue to help us to grow all that flowers on that ground! |

| Contribution: | My first and enduring memory of Steve was at a 2-day course he ran for BTP in London many years ago. I, and about 100 other new enquirers of SFBT, were waiting for the wisdom to flow at the beginning of the first day, only for Steve to ask (with a grin) "Any questions?" The dismay in the hall was clearly audible!
Thank you Steve (and Insoo) for profoundly changing the way I work. |

It was basic to my way of thinking and still is.It was especially the effect of compliments that fascinated me and it became an important part of my theory of ecoystemic thinking and working out the 8 basic beneficial messages.
Thank You Steve for all You have done for many, also for me. Harry |

| Contribution: | To Steve,
I heard the sad news in the first coffee break in a training group. Shocked, I didn't know how to carry on the training. Then, I realized that the best way for me to honor Steve was to keep on doing the work, as good as i possibly could. And I kept hearing Steve's voice from somewhere: "make it more simple". It is so strange that Steve is dead, when what I learned from him is so alive. Michael |
