- Therapy More Effective When Psychologists Focus On Their Clients' Strengths
There's a growing body of evidence showing that, rather than just focusing on problems, it can be beneficial for psychologists to remind clients of their strengths - an approach sometimes known as "resource activation". Now Christoph Fluckiger and...

- Successful Therapists Focus On Their Clients' Strengths
Research is increasingly showing that the success of therapy depends not on the theoretical orientation of the therapist, but on key therapeutic processes that cross theoretical boundaries. Two such processes are ‘problem activation’ – helping...

Information Session: The Power of Positive Psychology and Focusing on Strengths!
UPDATED- The Power of Positive Psychology and Focusing on Strengths (presented by Gallup) 
Thursday, November 12, 2015
5:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.
Location: Bio-Psyc Bldg.- 1140 A
This informative session will be led by a Gallup representative and focus on the following ideas! Come spend 50 minutes with us to find out how to use your strengths to excel in your work and personal life!
All people have a unique combination of talents, knowledge, and skills -- strengths -- that they use in their daily lives to do their work, achieve their goals, and interact with others. Gallup has found that when people understand and apply their strengths, the effect on their lives and work is transformational. People who use their strengths every day are six times more likely to be engaged in their work and three times more likely to say they have an excellent quality of life.
Yet, many people don't know what their strengths are or have the opportunity to use them to their advantage. In fact, many people tend to focus on fixing their weaknesses. By exploring the ways in which you naturally think, feel, and behave, Clifton StrengthsFinder can identify and build on the areas where you have infinite potential to grow and succeed. The Clifton StrengthsFinder is a powerful online assessment that helps individuals identify, understand, and maximize their strengths.

**Gallup will also be sharing information about their new internship program!
