Theory - Problem solving practice model
Definition - Commonly used in the therapeutic context, problem solving refers to understanding a problem and then brainstorming solutions and then having the client (or community) choose the best option.

Application - If there is a community development problem that comes up, such as having too many priorities and not having enough resources to meet the goals of each priority, you could use the problem solving model. First, as a community, you could brainstorm to prioritize projects and then how to get resources into the most important projects. Finally, this will help create an action plan to get the priorities done.
Adaptation - This could be done in therapy if a client has a problem such as not knowing what to do to resolve a client with a family member. The client and the therapist can work together to come up with possibilities to resolve the conflict and then the client can choose the option they think will be the most effective.
