Integration of Current Trends of Positive Psychology in Clinical Practice: A Critical Analysis
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
This study aims to explore the utilization of positive psychology interventions in clinical settings through a comprehensive literature review. The objective of this review was to critically analyze and synthesize existing studies for integration of current trends of positive psychology that can be applied in the clinical practice. Based on the findings, numerous studies have suggested a significant relationship between concepts within positive psychology, such as higher psychological well-being, positive affect, self-esteem, optimism, self-efficacy, resilience, and gratitude, to constructs such as increased life satisfaction. Conversely, these variables are negatively correlated with negative constructs such as psychological distress, stress, and depression. Furthermore, several studies have revealed the significant impact of positive psychology on mental health. This study has found that incorporating positive psychology principles in clinical interventions and treatment has the potential to promote overall well-being and enhance mental health. Positive psychology interventions play a role in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. However, more evidence-based research is needed to strengthen empirical support for these interventions that effectively promote well-being and address the unique challenges faced by individuals with severe mental illness.
