Unit 6 Introduction

Unit 6 Introduction

Positive psychotherapy (PPT) is a therapeutic approach within the broader field of positive psychology that aims to expand and enhance the scope of traditional psychotherapy. Closely aligned with the positive psychology movement, PPT advocates a balanced approach and incorporates authentic consideration of strengths with the traditional focus on alleviating symptoms. In PPT, clients are taught to employ their highest and intact resources—both personal and interpersonal—to meet life’s toughest challenges. For psychologically distressed clients, knowing their personal strengths, learning the skills necessary to cultivate positive emotions, strengthening positive relationships, and imbuing their lives with meaning and purpose can be tremendously motivating, empowering, and therapeutic. PPT is not intended to replace traditional therapeutic approaches—instead, it is simply an approach that seeks to balance the attention given to negative and positive life events in psychotherapy. We will explore more of these concepts this week.Objectives:
