Therapie-Tools Positive Psychologie

What strengthens a person? What makes life worth living, even when illnesses or problems burden everyday life? Positive psychology finds answers to these questions – it focuses on the resources and strengths in life rather than concentrating on existing deficits.

Shifting attention to the pleasant aspects of life, to solutions and strengths, instead of scrutinizing negative experiences, persistent problems, or worries, has proven effective in psychotherapy as well as in psychological coaching. Divided into the areas of mindfulness, happiness, and courage, Bea Engelmann offers a collection of nearly 200 worksheets and informational sheets that therapists and coaches can use to help their clients, and themselves, recognize the brighter side of life. With exercises such as Inviting Positive Emotions, My Sustainable Sources of Happiness, or Compact Encouragement, it creatively and engagingly highlights personal resources and strengths.

The new edition has been revised and expanded to include a subsection on happiness in times of crisis.
