Bannink then shows how the transition from traditional CBT to Positive CBT represents an important shift from problem analysis to goal analysis, from a focus on deficits and the learning of new behaviors to one that builds on resources and competences the client already possesses, and from reducing distress to building success.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining theory and applications with a wide range of stories, practical exercises and case studies, \u003ci\u003ePracticing Positive CBT\u003c\/i\u003e offers groundbreaking insights on new approaches for the improvement of the psychological well-being of clients and therapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFredrike Bannink is a clinical psychologist and Master of Dispute Resolution based in Amsterdam.
