Applying Positive Psychology in Psychotherapy

Workshop

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of well-being and the factors

that help people lead flourishing lives. Many clinicians are interested in

applying positive psychology in their therapeutic practice and there is

compelling evidence that doing so can boost the effects of therapy. Still,

positive psychology includes such a vast array of findings and is growing so

rapidly, that some therapists are not sure how to start bringing it to their

work.

This 2-day workshop will offer a clear conceptual framework for

integrating positive psychology into your therapeutic practice, through:

• Research-based presentations

• Experiential exercises • Live demonstrations

You will learn....
