BOOK

Presenting a compelling alternative to the traditional medical
approach, The Strengths Model demonstrates an evidence-based
approach to helping people with a psychiatric disability identify
and achieve meaningful and important life goals. Since the first
edition of this classic textbook appeared, the strengths model
has matured into a robust vision of mental health services. Both
a philosophy of practice and a specific set of tools and methods
the strengths model is designed to facilitate a recovery-oriented
partnership between client and practitioner. This completely
revised edition charts the evolution of the strengths model
reviews the empirical support behind it, and illustrates the
techniques and values that guide its application

Features new to this edition:
An extensive update of the strengths literature, focusing on
recovery as the dominant paradigm in mental health services
Richly drawn case vignettes demonstrating the application of
methods
Integration of empirical research and consumers' own
experiences
Completely updated strengths assessment and fidelity scales
In-depth discussions and examples guide practitioners from
theory to applied practice
Descriptions of how to teach and successfully supervise
large-scale implementations of strengths model work

For social workers and other mental health specialists working
with clients to move beyond the disabling effects of mental
illness to a life filled with meaning, purpose, and identity
this remains the crucial text
