Positive Psychology and RT
I recently ran across a couple of quotes from positive psychology that seem to have application in RT.
The first is from Cowen and Kilmer's article in the Journal of Community Psychology (Vol.30, 2002, p. 450). They have written that positive psychology can be perceived as “health-building oriented rather than reactive, and repair or containment-oriented.”
Positive psychologists Linley and Joseph in their book titled Positive Psychology in Practice (2004, p.724) similarly have written that interventions “do not begin and end with the target of the client being symptom-free.”
How do you react to these quotes? Does RT go beyond symptom removal in its approach to clients?
