Resource Activation

Little things can make a big difference - for instance, by making change possible where before no change could be seen. This practical little book looks very precisely at therapeutic micro-interventions and shows how to integrate a patient's strengths into clinical practice on a day-by-day basis to make change possible. Some ideas cross a threshold and then take off and get spread everywhere - I hope this will happen to the ideas presented here. Practical and very efficacious!A" Wolfgang Lutz, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, University of Trier, Germany Resource Activation heralds the emergence of a new vista for psychotherapists. It provides a detailed roadmap for systemically assessing and utilizing clients' talents, skills, and resources to facilitate therapeutic change. It gives very specific therapeutic guidelines and also lays the foundation for research on this historically neglected area. This book and this work should be read and utilized by individual, couple, and family therapists to realistically enhance their clients' sense of self and relationship efficacy.A" William M.
