The purpose of this study is to explain the valididity of Strength Perspective for the interview techniques used in the Solution Focused Questions. In order to explain the validity of the specialized techniques, the similarity between the Solution Focsed Approach and the Strength Perspective is described, and also how key concepts in the Strength Perspective such as impowerment, membership, resilience, healing, dialogue and collaboration, suspension and disbelief can be applied to the questions in the Soluiton Focused Question Techniques(exception question, miracle question, scaling question, coping question) is also described. And it was explored to find the strong points when Strength Perspective is applied to Solutions Focused Approach, and in so doing an attempt was made to accelerate the way of mutual adjustment. It was found that the assumptions and hypotheses of both the Strength Perspective and Solution Focused Approach are very similar. This is contrary to the basic hypotheses, basic attitude of workers, directions of approach, change paradigm of the traditional approaches. And it is highly feasible that the six key concepts of Strength Perspective can be used for the four question techniques. Based on these findings, Solution Focused Question Techniques are proposed as more enriched techniques in the social work practices when used with Strength Perspective.
