“…Some empirical studies show the impact these approaches can have on clients, including increases in EI, hope, resilience, wellbeing, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and improved interpersonal relationships (Grant, 2003a(Grant, , 2003b(Grant, , 2007Grant, Curtayne, & Burton, 2009;Green, Oades, & Grant, 2006;Kohler, McCullough-Crilley, Shearer, & Good, 1997;Ross, 1992;Spence & Grant, 2007).
