商品簡介
Fowers (counseling psychology, U. of Miami) challenges his profession's attempts to be value-neutral. Acknowledging the step that the positive psychology movement has taken in reversing this direction, he argues for a virtue-informed model for guiding therapy, research questions, interpretation, and professional ethics that emphasize character strengths. Drawing on philosophers from Aristotle to Charles Taylor, the author focuses on practical wisdom and critical self-awareness as keystones of this framework and counters concerns that this approach is necessarily judgmental.
