PSYCHOLOGY FOR THE XXI CENTURY
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
What has all this to do with psychology? In my opinion, psychology belongs to the category of those "magical" sciences that can really both help us “learn living on the earth as human beings" and interfere indirectly. Today, psychology is a quite influential, large and complex area of scientific knowledge with many diverse approaches. The question is what approach in psychology could be most helpful in developing human abilities in people. In this context it seems to be important to refer to a rather new trend in psychology, known as “positive psychology”. Martin Seligman, the ex-president of the American Psychological Association and professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, founded the field of positive psychology in 2000. Positive psychology examines healthy states, such as happiness, strengths of character and optimism. This field of modern psychology is opposite to the so-called “negative psychology“.
