Positive Psychology in the Clinical Domains
This book builds the bridge between the fields of clinical and positive psychology research and practice. It presents a variety of interventions aimed at promoting positivity in clinical populations. Although clinical psychology has addressed issues such as happiness, resilience and optimal functioning, the field has stuck to the medical model and paid more attention to distress and negativity in human existence. Positive psychology, on the other hand, has been considered a “psychology for all” and has devoted attention and resources to the investigation of positivity in general populations, Only recently, the relationships between positivity, distress and psychopathology have been inves...
Donner un sens à sa vie
« Quelle est ma raison de vivre ? Qu’est-ce qui est le plus important pour moi ? Quels sont les projets qui me tiennent le plus particulièrement à cœur ? Qu’est-ce qui donne de la valeur à ma vie ? »Évidemment, les réponses apportées à ces questions varient d’une personne à l’autre, voire d’une période de la vie à l’autre. Malgré ces différences, des constantes apparaissent, indubitablement, que Jacques Lecomte dégage ici pour nous, à partir des recherches menées en psychologie scientifique, mais aussi d’une foule de témoignages de personnalités ou d’anonymes. Au fil des pages, vous découvrirez ainsi non seulement de quoi est faite une existence qui a du ...

The applications of positive psychology are different from traditional interventions in therapy in that they are focused on building strength, resilience and well-being rather than being restricted to simply treating disorder. Since the publication of the first edition of Positive Therapy, there is now a comprehensive body of applied positive psychology research to which practitioners may turn in order to inform their own practice, and that sees its purpose as the facilitation of human flourishing and optimal functioning. However, much of this research and its implications are only now becoming more widely understood in counselling and psychotherapy. This new and expanded edition of Positive...
Upside
Through cutting-edge research and thoughtful personal stories comes a “compassionate, friendly, and empathetic” (Kirkus Reviews) exploration of post-traumatic growth—the emerging idea that psychological trauma doesn’t destroy a person, but can instead spark future growth, self-improvement, and success. What if there’s an upside to experiencing trauma? Most survivors of trauma—whether they live through life-threatening illnesses or accidents, horror on the battlefield, or the loss of a loved one—can suffer for months, even years. But recently, psychologists have discovered that PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is only a piece of the whole experience. With the right circu...
