Overview

Counseling psychology in some form has always been a vital part of promoting good health and preventing mental, physical, and social disorders. The aim of this volume is to focus on how counseling psychology fosters and builds optimal human strength and well-being. The chapters show how counseling psychology plays a major role in helping people make changes at home, at work, and in the community in ways that prevent disease risk and strengthen personal and social resources. Written by leading psychologists, this edited volume will shift away from pathology and illness and move more toward the science of positive psychology. Five major themes - intact personalities, individual assets and strengths, positive mental health, person-environment interaction, and career development - are discussed that serve to unite the roles and tasks of counseling psychology. It will be of value to students and professionals concerned with and working in the mental health field.
