The second edition of this book boldly challenges an oftenprevailing focus on deficiencies and problems in help-seeking individuals, be it in psychological or psychiatric therapy, counseling, or social work settings. In their call for a paradigm shift towards a more resource and strength-based perspective, the authors of this book clearly delineate in practical hands-on terms and on their extensive experience, how a resource and strength-based perspective lay the foundational seed for the positive turnaround of anyone seeking aide and improvements in their lives. With great academic rigor and decades of combined expertise as practitioners of psychotherapy and counselling, the authors balance a hands-on practical approach and accessible reading-format with the incorporation of a wealth of scientific research in every chapter, revealing an evidence-based approach and guidance in furtherunderstanding of the psychological underpinnings of strengths and resources. Concluding with sample worksheets, this book is a package deal for every interested reader who wishes to follow the steadily growing line of evidence in positive psychology, which has now made its way into clinical and counselling settlings.
