Description
Positive psychology - essentially the scientific study of the strengths that enable individuals and communities to thrive - is a
relatively new discipline that has experienced substantial growth in the last 5-10 years. Research suggests that the principles and theories
from this area of study are highly relevant to the practice of counseling and psychotherapy, and positive psychology presents clinicians
and patients with a much needed balance to the more traditional focus on pathology and the disease model of mental health. This book
provides a comprehensive introduction to the best-researched positive psychological interventions. It emphasizes clinical application,
providing a detailed view of how the research can be applied to patients. Covering the broaden-and-build theory, strengths-based therapy,
mentoring modalities and more, the volume will provide numerous assessment tools, exercises and worksheets for use throughout the counseling
and psychotherapy process.
Audience
Mental health clinicians, including psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, and mental health nurses; Researchers in
positive psychology and mental health treatment; Professors teaching Positive Psychology, Counseling Skills, or Counseling and Psychotherapy
