The Power of Positive Problem-Solving Appraisal

Comments on Incremental Validity, Relationships With Adjustment, and Clinical Utility

Shane J. Lopez

Kelly M. Janowski

University of Kansas

In response to Heppner, Witty, and Dixon's rigorous review of 20 years of research on problem-solving appraisal, our commentary emphasizes the hygiological focus of the work and the value of this research to the field of counseling psychology. Furthermore, we hope to increase the effect of positive problem-solving appraisal by outlining a portion of an ambitious scholarly and practice agenda for the next decade. Recommendations include establishing incremental validity, clarifying the relationships between problem-solving appraisal and psychological adjustment, and increasing the clinical utility of problem-solving training.
