I AM PLEASED TO HAVE BEEN ASKED to be the editor of this special edition of Families in Society on the strengths perspective. The strengths perspective has many shades and hues—many different textures. It clearly is still developing, perhaps now somewhere in its latency or pre-teens. Not yet having the rigor of more mature theories, models, perspectives, or methods, it is possessed of an energy and exuberance that youth often commands. Maybe it will not grow up to be a theory, but, rather, settle into its middle years as a way of thinking about, understanding, and configuring the work that social workers do. Whatever the case, to really embrace a strengths approach to practice, teaching, research or inquiry requires of us a different ambience or demeanor; a set of commitments and appreciations that diverge from the usual professional cant and canon.
