Improve Client Outcomes with Positive Psychology

Positive psychology studies the conditions and processes that contribute to the flourishing or optimal function of people, groups and institutions. Occupational therapy (OT) practitioners appreciate tools and strategies to help clients attain their desired outcomes. Course author and OT Lynn Festa has compiled a list of evidence-based strategies that can be employed by the clinician in every setting, including academia. Clinicians also reap the benefits, the more these practices are engaged in, resulting in fewer symptoms of burnout and more enjoyment in the workplace.
