PsychINFO, MEDLINE and CINAHL were searched on 3rd February 2025. Original research papers focusing on adults receiving solution\u2010focused brief therapy in a community mental health context that were published in English were included. Studies in emergency departments, general practice, or inpatient mental health units were excluded. The following characteristics of each study were extracted: author(s), year, design, country, aims, population, intervention tested, outcomes measured and major findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After removal of duplicates, the search returned 1468 citations. Of these, 20 studies were identified. Study designs included randomised trials, quasi\u2010experimental studies, observational studies and qualitative narrative analysis. All studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the use of solution\u2010focused brief therapy within adult community mental health settings, achieving positive health outcomes. In some randomised trials, a more rapid or more effective response was found when compared with other interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review mapped the empirical evidence available for the use of solution\u2010focused brief therapy in adult community mental health settings. A small number of empirical investigations were identified overall. Solution\u2010focused brief therapy was associated with positive outcomes across various domains including psychiatric symptoms and improving psychosocial functioning. More empirical research focusing on process, comparative studies and broader populations within adult community mental health would strengthen the evidence base and generalisability of solution\u2010focused brief therapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.70255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,18]],"date-time":"2026-03-18T04:22:33Z","timestamp":1773807753000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Use of Solution\u2010Focused Brief Therapy Within Adult Community Mental Health: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4337-0186","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michele","family":"Orr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health and Wellbeing Program Eastern Health  Box Hill Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3137-4579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sharlette","family":"Ryder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mental Health and Wellbeing Program Eastern Health  Box Hill Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3801-2456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Considine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery and Centre for Quality and Patient Safety Research in the Institute for Health Transformation Deakin University  Geelong Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","volume-title":"APA Dictionary of Psychology","author":"American Psychological Association","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/1364557032000119616"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","unstructured":"Australian Bureau of Statistics.2020. \u201cNational Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing.\u201dABS.
