Positive Psychology in Clinical Practice

Objective To introduce and comment positive psychology in clinical practice. Methods The opinions of positive psychology in conceptual organization, assessment and positive interventions of well-being were analyzed by reviewing the recent literatures of positive psychology in the United States. Results As the main concern of positive psychology, the proposed conceptual framework of happiness was parsed into three domains: pleasure, engagement, and meaning, and there are now valid and practical assessment tools for each of these constructs appropriate for clinical setting. Increasing evidences demonstrated the efficacy and effectiveness of positive interventions aimed at constructing pleasure, engagement, and meaning. Positive interventions might usefully supplement direct attempts to prevent and treat psychopathology. Conclusion Positive psychology may be helpful to broaden the focus of clinical psychology beyond suffering and its direct alleviation.
