Christoph Flückiger: Resource Activation in Psychotherapy, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

This book challenges an often-prevailing focus on deficiencies and problems in individuals seeking help, be it in psychological or psychiatric therapy, counseling, or social work settings. The authors call for a paradigm shift towards a more resource- and strength-based perspective and clearly delineate, in practical terms and based on their extensive experience, how this approach lays the foundational stone upon which anyone seeking aid for improvements in their life can build. They present hands-on approaches in an accessible, straightforward style. Using their combined expertise as practitioners of psychotherapy and counseling, they incorporate a wealth of scientific research in every chapter, providing rigorous, evidence-based methods and guidance to expound the psychological underpinnings of personal strengths and resources. Complete with sample handouts, this book is a package deal for every reader who wishes to implement positive psychology interventions that have a growing evidence base in clinical and counseling settings.
