The article presents a new proven psychotherapeutic technology, created by the method of combination of Psychology of Possibilities, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and concepts of Integration Methodology. Psychotraumas, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, which received by the victims of military conflicts, are often so individualized, that require multistage and multidirectional psychological help approaches. Release from persecution and memories of the past as a reminders of the trauma and creating perspective for further life through rethinking the experience are the main goal of psychotherapy. That`s the two most vulnerable categories of modern military conflict in eastern Ukraine, which are participants in the Joint Forces Operation (under JFO) and Inwardly Displaced Persons (under – IDP) from the zone of JFO. Psychotherapeutic practice with them encourages us to create a new technological model of psychological care to this category of clients. Its essence is integrated use of three different conceptual therapeutic technologies, which is Solution Focused Brief Therapy, concepts Psychology of Possibilities and concepts of Integration Methodology. Optimally invest in the person's attitude that everyone has a large reserve for further self-realization (attitude not on oneself, not on problems, but exclusively on the resource of personal future) and bring a person to a functional state are the main goal of all technology. If this is achieved, the need to look for flaws automatically disappears, and even more there will be no need to delve into the client's past. This is the newest approach to restoring mental health, increase resistance (immunity) to traumatic effects creation of support for virtually all three psychotherapeutic concepts presented by us through various holistically oriented psychological techniques and algorithms. As a result of passing the offered complex psychotherapy general improvement of the psychological condition of the categories of clients affected by the war in the East creates empirical arguments of validity as a new technology of integrated approach in providing psychological care in particular in work with psychotraumas at participants of military conflict for actualization in them of a resource of personal growth.

Objective: This study examined the effectiveness of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) intervention on substance abuse and trauma-related problems. Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of SFBT in primary substance use treatment services for child welfare involved parents in outpatient treatment for substance use disorders. Mixed linear models were used to test within- and between-group changes using intent-to-treat analysis ( N = 64). Hedges’s g effect sizes were also calculated to examine magnitude of treatment effects. Results: Both groups decreased on the Addiction Severity Index-Self-Report and the Trauma Symptom Checklist-40. The between group effect sizes were not statistically significant on either measures, thus SFBT produced similar results as the research supported treatments the control group received. Conclusion: Results support the use of SFBT in treating substance use and trauma and provide an alternative approach that is more strengths based and less problem focused.

Two cases, one of memory loss and one of suicide risk assessment, are used to illustrate the principles of brief therapy translated into everyday practice.
