New Book -- Fredrickson's Positivity
I recently purchased a new book by Barbara Fredrickson titled Positivity. Fredrickson is a distinguished professor at UNC - Chapel Hill and a leading researcher in the area of positive psychology.
I've just begun to read the book but I can already sense it springs from her "broaden and build" theory that has a great fit with recreational therapy. The link between Fredrickson's theory and RT is explained in my book Therapeutic Recreation Processes and Techniques (Austin, 2009).
I'll let you know more of my reactions to Positivity as I read it. I'd be interested in comments from others who may have already read the book -- or initial reactions by those, like me, who are just getting into it.
