Strength based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy that highlights people's resources and strengths. Other treatment modalities tend to focus solely on people's problems. Strength based therapy moves away from pathologizing people. This type of therapy supports people in identifying their inner strengths and resources. This approach can improve self confidence and can help individuals to develop self efficacy.

 

This modality helps people to look at their challenges and themselves more expansively. Strength based therapy recognizes a person's history of overcoming difficulties and the ways they have been able to do so. This can bolster their confidence and aid them in readjusting how they view themselves. Strength based therapy can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment modalities.
