Positive Psychology

Positive Psychology: Established and Emerging Issues, 1st Edition, provides a scientific overview of theoretical and empirical scholarship within the field. The text examines how human strengths sustain people both psychologically and physically, demonstrating that stressful circumstances do not inevitably result in negative outcomes.

Contributors explore how individuals navigate adversity, value interpersonal relationships, and recognize daily routines as meaningful. Across these areas, the volume questions traditional disease-model assumptions about health while addressing emerging research trajectories and practical applications.

Published within Routledge's Frontiers of Social Psychology series, the book serves as a resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and clinical and social psychology practitioners.
