This case study describes the progress of a client receiving goal focused positive psychotherapy over 34 sessions, capturing the subtlety and responsiveness of the theory in action. The client self-identified as a Mexican American heterosexual female in her early 20s who had experienced intense anxiety and recurring bouts of depression since elementary school. The primary therapeutic principles of goal focused positive psychotherapy- including hope, strengths, virtuous approach goals, incremental change, and culture- are described alongside germane interventions (one good thing, capitalization, and self-compassion). The client experienced reduction of the initial symptoms (anxiety, pessimism and low self-worth, and deficits in time management and organization). Beyond symptom diminishment, the client achieved increased agency, clarity of virtuous values, genuine caring for others, engagement with a broader range of feelings, and self-compassion. The client's cultural strengths served as a central resource for growth. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

从化妆品到同情心：以目标为导向的积极心理治疗的案例研究。

此案例研究描述了客户在34个疗程中接受以目标为导向的积极心理治疗的过程，了解了该理论在实践中的微妙性和响应能力。该客户自称是20岁出头的墨西哥裔美国人异性恋女性，自小学起就经历过严重的焦虑和反复发作的抑郁症。以目标为导向的积极心理治疗的主要治疗原理-包括希望，力量，良性进路目标，渐进式变化和文化-连同紧贴干预措施（一件好事，资本化和同情心）一起描述。服务对象的初始症状有所减轻（焦虑，悲观和较低的自我价值以及时间管理和组织上的不足）。除了症状减轻外，客户还增加了代理能力，道德价值观的清晰，对他人的真诚关怀，更广泛的情感投入和自我同情心。客户的文化优势是成长的主要资源。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
