How To Turn Fear Patterns Into Personal Power This book is not light reading for the layman, but it demands the attention of anyone interested in psychology and what it can teach about the good life. Each strength is thoroughly examined in its own chapter, with special attention to its meaning, explanation, measurement, causes, correlates, consequences, and development across the life span, as well as to strategies for its deliberate cultivation. Character Strengths and Virtues classifies twenty-four specific strengths (authenticity, persistence, kindness, and so on) under six broad virtues that consistently emerge across history and culture: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. This groundbreaking handbook is the first progress report from a prestigious group of researchers who have undertaken the systematic classification and measurement of positive traits. He also describes the inner experience that makes each dysfunctional pattern both unique and worthy of empathy. Johnson explains how each personality pattern manifests along a continuum from functional to dysfunctional - from normal coping to the nagging symptoms of neurosis to the severe pathology of personality disorders. In this book he presents an integrated personality theory, showing how core existential issues from childhood underlie the spectrum of character styles in adulthood.
Johnson, Ph.D., a professor of psychology in Menlo Park, California, divides his time between clinical teaching and the private practice of psychotherapy.
