This book is a primer for practitioners and researchers striving to incorporate the assessment of human strengths, resources, and fulfillment into their work. Contributors examine the scientific underpinnings and practical applications of measures of a wide variety of positive traits including hope, optimism, self-efficacy, problem-solving, locus of control, creativity, wisdom, and many more. 
This second edition includes a fully-updated research base, as well as extensive case studies that offer concrete examples of how mental health providers can use these tools with real clients in their clinical practice.
