Resource activation has a positive impact on the therapeutic process. Unfortunately, patients often have a distorted view of their resources: as a result, these resources cannot unleash their power for the recovery process and instead remain dormant as untapped potential of their own abilities and possibilities. In resource-oriented therapy, patients learn to regain access to their resources. Resource activation helps to promote patients' well-being and improve problem-solving processes related to their disorders. After a brief introduction to the scientific background of resource activation, the practical guide describes various interventions for resource activation for each phase of therapy and illustrates them with numerous practical examples. Among other things, it addresses interventions for resource-oriented therapy planning.
