This concise practice manual for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors explains in plain language how to help clients recognize and use their strengths. Ideas range from
simple suggestions, such as to changing the way therapists and counselors ask questions, to more detailed exercises involving visualization, journal keeping, genograms and ecograms, and role
playing. Each intervention technique described includes directions for use and notes on potential difficulties. Chapters cover systematic resource analysis, resource-oriented dialog strategies,
and resource-activating structural interventions. The author is affiliated with the Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at the University of Bern, Switzerland. Annotation 穢2010
