Is it possible to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods not just to reduce distress but also to promote happiness, resilience and other positive qualities? We are developing strengths-based therapy approaches that use CBT principles and practices to construct new beliefs and behaviors that promote positive client growth. A structured search for client strengths is central to the approach. When the goal is to construct something new, experiential methods often trump analytic approaches. Changes in CBT over the past three decades (e.g., an increased emphasis on behavioral experiments, imagery, and a greater appreciation of neuroscience) provide platforms for "new" therapy methods such as constructive use of imagery, client-generated metaphors, and therapeutic use of smiling and silence. New therapy models, to (a) build resilience and (b) treat personality disorders by constructing new interpersonal beliefs and behaviors, foreshadow a trend toward CBT approaches that more explicitly help people thrive in the face of life challenges.
