Connecting Theory, Practice and
Skills
Elsie Jones-Smith, Diplomate in Counseling
Psychology, American Board of Professional
Psychology
Combining both the theory and practice of
strengths-based therapy, Elsie Jones-Smith
introduces current and future practitioners to
the modern approach of practice—presenting a
model for treatment as well as demonstrations in
clinical practice across a variety of settings. This
highly effective form of therapy supports the idea
that clients know best about what has worked and has not worked in their lives,
helps them discover positive and effective solutions through their own experiences,
and allows therapists to engage their clients in their own therapy. Drawing from
cutting-edge research in neuroscience, positive emotions, empowerment, and
change, Strengths-Based Therapy helps readers understand how to get their clients
engaged as active participants in treatment.
