I am thrilled to share with you some of the article that is now appearing in the Winter edtion of the American Psychological Association’s Independent Practitioner Journal.  The article appears on p.17 and soon it will be on line.  I will post the on line connection when I have it.

…Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, a licensed psychologist, wrote The Enchanted Self: A Positive Therapy in 1997 when the movement was just beginning. “That book was an instructional book for therapists and their clients to help create the paradigm shift necessary for positive psychology to be practiced in the treatment room,” she says. “I’m interested in how you teach someone to use their mind to retrieve a memory to create happiness in the present and future.”
