ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we begin by explicating the rationale for bringing virtue ethics into conversation with psychotherapy. We accomplish this by contextualizing the current limitations of scientific application, the need for a richer moral-ethical frame, and the potentialities emergent from a virtue-based approach. In the second section, we provide illustrative examples of the additive potentiality of virtue and flourishing discourse situated in particular therapeutic contexts through descriptions of studies being performed across four clinical sites.
