Abstract
|
|
|
|
Positive psychology emphasizes the need to understand the positive aspect of human experience, as well as understanding and ameliorating psychopathology and distress. Positive therapy explores the relevance of positive psychology to therapy. In this article, we reviewed the fundamental assumptions of positive psychology and therapy, and its possibility of the application to stress management. We summarized a variety of current positive therapies that share the same fundamental assumptions of positive psychology. Additionally, we mentioned the pitfalls and future of positive therapy. Finally, we suggested the need for further clinical evidence of positive therapy in stress management and various health care settings.
