This article focuses on the applicability of solution-oriented brief counseling in Turkish culture. To this end, I discuss the theoretical framework and therapeutic process of solution-focused counseling and the predispositions of counselors to provide solution-focused counseling from a contextual perspective. An important implication from this investigation is that traits such as authoritativeness, approval for power inequalities, and external locus of control may harm the applicability of this approach in Turkey. However, it is possible to say that the solution-oriented approach is compatible with the Turkish people in many ways. In this respect, solution-focused counselors may need different methods to work more harmoniously with Turkish clients. In conclusion, considering the cultural features of Turkish society, I make recommendations about what these methods might be and how solution-focused counseling adapted better.
