Reviews

Drs. Simmons and Lehmann have given all of us in the helping professions—practitioners and researchers alike—a comprehensive resource for finding and selecting psychometrically sound, practical, strengthsbased measures that we can use not only to ‘look at the results’ but to do so in a way that we ‘measure others by their strengths.’ We look forward to seeing this invaluable resource . . . on every social worker’s desk in the coming years.
