    About this ebook

    Hope has previously been a construct more of interest to philosophy and religion than in psychology. New research has shown, however, that hope is closely related to optimism, feelings of control, and motivation toward achieving one's goals. The Handbook of Hope presents a comprehensive overview of the psychological inquiry into hope, including its measurement, its development in children, how its loss is associated with specific clinical disorders, and therapeutic approaches that can help instill hope in those who have lost theirs. A final section discusses hope in occupational applications: how the use of hope can make one a better coach, teacher, or parent.

      This is a handbook for practitioners versed in the research behind hope. It includes sections on the fundamentals of Dr. Snyder's Hope Theory, how hope develops and can wane, measuring hope, and theory-based applications. It also contains chapters on hope in special situations, including raising children, aging, living with AIDs or cancer or acquired disabilities, hope in diversity, surviving trauma, in depression or panic attacks. Highly recommended for life and career coaches, educators, leaders and others who are willing to work to gain a stronger theoretical and empirical base for their efforts.
