Summary:Positive psychotherapy (PPT) is a therapeutic endeavor within positive psychology that aims to alleviate symptomatic stress by way of enhancing well-being. Traditional psychotherapy does a good job of making clients feel, for example, less depressed or less anxious, but the well-being of clients is not an explicit goal. Positive psychology studies the conditions and processes that enable individuals, communities, and institutions to flourish. PPT integrates symptoms with strengths, risks with resources, weaknesses with values, and regrets with hopes, in order to understand the inherent complexities of human experience in a balanced way. This workbook contains 15 chapters (plus an introduction and conclusion) to correspond with the skills and practices clients learn in session. Each session focuses on one or more practice; every chapter also includes three things to know about the main topic, worksheets, reflection and discussion points, and "in real life" client stories. Each chapter also includes a list of relevant books, videos, and websites related to the issues discussed in the chapter
