"Clinical Perspectives on Meaning: Positive and Existential
Psychotherapy . . . is an outstanding collection of new
contributions that build thoughtfully on the past, while at the
same time, take the uniquely human capacity for meaning-making to
important new places." - From the preface by Carol D. Ryff and
Chiara Ruini This unique theory-to-practice volume presents
far-reaching advances in positive and existential therapy, with
emphasis on meaning-making as central to coping and resilience,
growth and positive change. Innovative meaning-based strategies are
presented with clients facing medical and mental health challenges
such as spinal cord injury, depression, and cancer. Diverse
populations and settings are considered, including substance abuse,
disasters, group therapy, and at-risk youth. Contributors
demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of meaning-making
interventions by addressing novel findings in this rapidly growing
and promising area. By providing broad international and
interdisciplinary perspectives, it enhances empirical findings and
offers valuable practical insights. Such a diverse and varied
examination of meaning encourages the reader to integrate his or
her thoughts from both existential and positive psychology
perspectives, as well as from clinical and empirical approaches,
and guides the theoretical convergence to a unique point of
understanding and appreciation for the value of meaning and its
pursuit. Included in the coverage: * The proper aim of therapy:
Subjective well-being, objective goodness, or a meaningful life? *
Character strengths and mindfulness as core pathways to meaning in
life * The significance of meaning to conceptualizations of
resilience and posttraumatic growth * Practices of meaning-making
interventions: A comprehensive matrix * Working with meaning in
life in chronic or life-threatening disease * Strategies for
cultivating purpose among adolescents in clinical settings *
Integrative meaning therapy: From logotherapy to existential
positive interventions * Multiculturalism and meaning in
existential and positive psychology * Nostalgia as an existential
intervention: Using the past to secure meaning in the present and
the future * The spiritual dimension of meaning Clinical
Perspectives on Meaning redefines these core healing objectives for
researchers, students, caregivers, and practitioners from the
fields of existential psychology, logotherapy, and positive
psychology, as well as for the interested public.
