Peter Lehmann, PhD, is an Associate Professor at University of Texas at Arlington, School of Social Work and co-director of the Community Service Center. Dr. Lehmann's publications include three books, including Strengths-Based Batterer Intervention (with Cathy Simmons) and Theoretical Perspectives for Direct Social Work Practice (with Nick Coady).

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.
