4.0 out of 5 stars Good concept but..., July 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Hope: Theory, Measures, and Applications (Hardcover)
Encouraging/building a sense of hope and agency is important for cases of depression. Unfortunately, the book has a noticeable slant toward political correctness and left-wing politics that seem to overemphasize the "mascot" groups and hot topics of the Left at the expense of the rest.

The final chapter is a call for the expansion of the "nanny state" as well as the trite call for giving up certain Constitutional rights for illusory societal "safety". I wonder how one can work for increasing a person's sense of agency (control of one's life) while simultaneously calling for an ever more controlling governmental system. What is it, socialism with a therapeutic face?
