Description
David A. Verhaagen, PhD, ABPP
Positive psychology has had incredible influence in the self-help literature, as well as in businesses and organizations, yet there is little available for how to apply it to clinical practice. Instead of focusing on the negatives, like labels, diagnoses and pathology, positive psychology allows us to focus on what is right and good and healthy with people, even those who are struggling with various challenges. Come learn about how to apply positive psychology principles and strategies to clinical practice in this highly practical workshop.
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Describe at least three principles of positive psychology that can be applied to clinical practice.
- Learn two skills or strategies from positive psychology in their clinical practice.
- Guide clients through a process of identifying their personal direction or calling.
