By focusing attention on what is right with youth rather than what is wrong with them, the strengths-based approach to intervening with youth avoids negative outcomes commonly associated with deficit- or problem-based interventions. This book provides an accessible outline of the strengths-based approach and details 41 interventions across several strengths domains. Practitioners in school, clinical, and community settings will find the book s numerous case examples, practical suggestions, and reproducible forms and handouts invaluable in the provision of day-to-day youth services.
