What is Strength- Based Therapy?

• Strengths-Based Therapy is a social work practice theory that emphasizes people’s self determination and strengths.
• Strengths based practice is client led, with a focus on future outcomes and strengths that the people bring to a problem or crisis.
• Strengths-Based Therapy looks at the inherent strengths of a person or organization, then builds on them.
• Strengths Based Therapy uses an individual’s or organization’s strengths to aid in recovery, restructure and empowerment.
• It’s really about reframing perception to find good even in the worst situation.

Why Use It?

• It is an empowering alternative to traditional therapies that focus on deficits and short comings.
• It avoids the use of stigmatizing language or terminology which creates false self identification and change aversion.
• It is at odds with the “victim identity” — epitomized in popular culture by the appearance of individuals on television or talk radio sharing intimate details of their problems—which is inherently self-defeating.
• It fosters hope by focusing on what is or has been historically successful for the person or organization, thereby exposing precedent successes as the groundwork for realistic expectations.
• It inventories (often for the first time) the positive building blocks that already exist in their environment that can serve as the foundation for growth and change.
• It reduces the power and authority barrier between therapist and the client by promoting the client to the level of expert in regards to what has worked, what does not work, and what might work in their situation.
• It reduces the power and authority barrier between the client and therapist by placing the therapist in the role of partner or guide.
• And lastly – it works.
