About Me

Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

The Best Therapists Build Strengths

A quote from a chapter by positive psychologists Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson titled "Positive Clinical Psychology" (in the 2003 book A Psychology of Human Strengths)reads:

"...the best therapists do not merely heal damage; they help people identify and build their strengths and their virtues" (p. 306).

I really believe this is true for rec therapists. What do you think?
