The theory of successful intelligence developed and tested by Robert Sternberg attempts to predict success in life across analytical, creative, and practical dimensions. This article presents the theory of successful intelligence as a useful framework for incorporating various psychotherapy techniques. Application of the theory has effectively trained teachers to enhance important skills in normally functioning children and adolescents, as well as adults in real world settings. Presumably it can be taught to therapists to be applied in a psychotherapy setting. In support of this argument, the article is divided into four sections. First, a definition of the theory of successful intelligence is presented. Second, empirical efforts for construct validation of the theory-both internal and external-are described. Third, the research that has been conducted on each aspect of the theory (analytical, creative, and practical) is discussed along with related constructs from the field of psychotherapy. Fourth, an example of the use of the theory in clinical practice is described, drawn from older case material which actually anticipated the uses of analytical, creative, and practical skill development with a depressed client.Is it possible to base the psychological treatment of emotional and relationship disorders on modern theories of human intelligence? Various definitions of intelligence have been proposed over the last century, but most are in agreement that

“…The TKML was developed and validated by Hedlund et al (1998) in order to obtain a measure of how Army officers develop as leaders while they are on the job. Because ability that is demonstrated in the classroom does not necessarily transfer to the field (D6mer & Kreuzig, 1983), and intelligence determined by IQ scores does not capture the full range of skills needed for complex problem solving, Hedlund et al (1998) developed a tool for measuring the practical or tacit knowledge of military leaders.…”

“…Because ability that is demonstrated in the classroom does not necessarily transfer to the field (D6mer & Kreuzig, 1983), and intelligence determined by IQ scores does not capture the full range of skills needed for complex problem solving, Hedlund et al (1998) developed a tool for measuring the practical or tacit knowledge of military leaders. Good Army leaders become familiar with the full range of Army culture through many sources: classroom education, broad reading, especially formal documentation and doctrinal manuals, but mainly through direct operational experience and training.…”

“…al, 1998). From these interviews Hedlund et al (1998) formed the TKML items chosen for their ability to discriminate between officers in the dimensions of experience ("experienced" vs. "novice") and leadership effectiveness ("more" vs. "less"). There are three versions of the TKML, one for each level in the chain of command (platoon, company, battalion) explored.…”
