In Solution-Focused Family Therapy, the so-called "miracle question" is a popular and often-recommended intervention. Lloyd and Dallos (2008) found that the miracle question was the most often cited "unhelpful event." What do you make of this feedback? Do you think it is specific to the population sampled (i.e., mothers of a child with a severe intellectual disability) or do you think this reaction would occur in other clients as well? If you plan to employ Solution-Focused Family/Couple Therapy in the future, would you ask the "miracle question" in your intake sessions? Why or why not?
