ABSTRACT

Practicing from strengths perspective requires that we shift the way we think about, approach, and relate to our clients. Rather than focusing exclusively or dominantly on problems, your eye turns toward possibilities. In the thicket of trauma and trouble you see blooms of hope and transformation. The formula is simple: Rally clients’ interests, capacities, motivations, resources, and emotions in the work of reaching their hopes and dreams, help them find pathways to those goals, and the payoff may be an enhanced quality of daily life for them.
