- trending subject in psychology

Resource activation is thought of as the central component of effective psychotherapy. Resources are sources of power and protective factors which people have at their disposal to deal with life’s tasks and crises. In psychotherapy or counselling, patients are meant to learn how to activate their resources in order to use them in a helpful way.

In this tools book, Tina Gruber first explains the theoretical basics and then the implementation in group or one-to-one settings. She suggests modules for individual topics with a compilation of exercises and points out the particular benefits of a specific resource group. She goes on to provide a pool of interdisciplinary exercises. These help to uncover and activate resources which patients already have in various areas of their lives (body, goals, social environment, etc.).
