Drawing on insights and techniques from both Positive Psychology and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, internationally renowned expert Fredrike Bannink first reveals how Positive CBT combines the best elements of change-based and meaning-based psychotherapeutic approaches to offer a new perspective on traditional CBT. Bannink then shows how the transition from traditional CBT to Positive CBT represents an important shift from problem analysis to goal analysis, from a focus on deficits and the learning of new behaviors to one that builds on resources and competences the client already possesses, and from reducing distress to building success.<br /> <br /> <p>Combining theory and applications with a wide range of stories, practical exercises and case studies, <i>Practicing Positive CBT</i> offers groundbreaking insights on new approaches for the improvement of the psychological well-being of clients and therapists.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"It was a refreshing read and highlighted the need for clinicians to regularly review their approach and push for positive psychological wellbeing for their clients and themselves beyond distress reducction."
