Positive psychology is the scientific study of positive experiences and positive individual traits, and the institutions that facilitate their development. A field concerned with well-being and optimal functioning, positive psychology aims to broaden the focus of clinical psychology beyond suffering and its direct alleviation. Our proposed conceptual framework parses happiness into three domains: pleasure, engagement, and meaning. For each of these constructs, there are now valid and practical assessment tools appropriate for the clinical setting. Additionally, mounting evidence demonstrates the efficacy and effectiveness of positive interventions aimed at cultivating pleasure, engagement, and meaning. We contend that positive interventions are justifiable in their own right. Positive interventions may also usefully supplement direct attempts to prevent and treat psychopathology and, indeed, may covertly be a central component of good psychotherapy as it is done now.

临床实践中的积极心理学。

积极心理学是对积极经验和积极个人特质以及促进其发展的机构的科学研究。积极心理学是与福祉和最佳功能有关的领域，旨在将临床心理学的重点扩展到痛苦和直接缓解之外。我们提出的概念框架将幸福分为三个领域：愉悦，参与和意义。对于这些结构中的每一种，现在都有适用于临床环境的有效且实用的评估工具。此外，越来越多的证据表明，旨在培养愉悦，参与和意义的积极干预措施的有效性和有效性。我们认为，积​​极干预本身是合理的。
