This book combines strengths-based counseling and positive psychotherapy approaches with integrated care, offering providers a practical, evidence-based framework for enhancing collaborative care across diverse clinical settings.
Written by an expert clinician with over 25 years of experience in integrated healthcare, this book provides theoretical grounding, detailed intervention strategies, and real-world examples that behavioral health providers can use immediately in collaboration with medical teams. It addresses the fundamental question of what drives patients to pursue and maintain wellness, providing actionable strategies to help individuals not only recover from health challenges but thrive. Readers will gain skills to shift clinical sessions from problem-centered narratives to strengths-focused dialogues as well as strategies for embedding resilience- and meaning-centered practices into the culture of healthcare organizations. Chapters explore core counseling theories and techniques as applied in medical settings, positive psychology strategies to support patient growth, methods for helping patients identify values and meaning, and tailored applications for populations facing chronic illness, depression, trauma histories, and other health challenges. Additional sections address frameworks for team-based implementation, use of assessment tools, and outcome measurement, ensuring relevance for both clinical training and administrative practice. Illustrated through diverse case studies, students and practitioners will develop actionable skills in assessment, intervention design, interdisciplinary teamwork, and culturally responsive care. This book provides clinicians with tools to help patients reconnect with purpose and values, ensuring longer-lasting health outcomes and greater patient satisfaction.
This is an essential resource for behavioral and mental health professionals of all kinds including psychologists, therapists, counselors, clinical social workers, integrated care practitioners, and behavioral health consultants. It is also a valuable resource for graduate students in counseling, psychology, and behavioral health fields.
