It clearly explains what, why, and how the contributing practitioners did what they did, step-by-step. The book is organized into three partshappiness, healing, and enhancementthat represent the three core processes and outcomes in the application of positive psychology. The book is further divided into sections that cover nine therapeutic objectives that include orienting to happiness, instilling hope, utilizing resources, moving beyond depression, building mindfulness and acceptance, and transcending trauma and pain. Novel therapeutic approaches such as ecotherapy, neuroscience, and play therapy are covered as well as fields, including optimal functioning, hope, altruism, goal setting, and strengths.
