Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A thorough and up-to-date guide to putting positive psychology into practice
From the Foreword: 'This volume is the cutting edge of positive psychology and the emblem of its future.'
-Martin E. P. Seligman, Ph.D., Fox Leadership Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Authentic Happiness
Positive psychology is an exciting new orientation in the field, going beyond psychology's traditional focus on illness and pathology to look at areas like well-being and fulfillment. While the larger question of optimal human functioning is hardly new - Aristotle addressed it in his treatises on eudaimonia - positive psychology offers a common language on this subject to professionals working in a variety of subdisciplines and practices. Applicable in many settings and relevant for individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and societies, positive psychology is a genuinely integrative approach to professional practice.
Positive Psychology in Practice fills the need for a broad, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art reference for this burgeoning new perspective. Cutting across traditional lines of thinking in psychology, this resource bridges theory, research, and applications to offer valuable information to a wide range of professionals and students in the social and behavioral sciences.
A group of major international contributors covers: - The applied positive psychology perspective
- Historical and philosophical foundations
- Values and choices in pursuit of the good life
- Lifestyle practices for health and well-being
- Methods and processes for teaching and learning
- Positive psychology at work
The best and most thorough treatment of this cutting-edge discipline, Positive Psychology in Practice is an essential resource for understanding this important new theory and applying its principles to all areas of professional practice.

Rated by buyers -
`Positive Psychology in Practice' any psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist or life coach worth their salt would buy this book. It is second to none in clinical terms.
P.Alex Lindley and Stephen Joseph edited it and they were obviously inspired by an outside force as it is remarkable and salient to all.
The write-up says it is `the cutting edge of positive psychology and an emblem of its future' and it really is just that.
My experience in Clinic in Liverpool's Rodney St and London's Harley St over the last 25 years seems to pale in to insignificance when I realise just how much more I could have offered if this science had been around, how much more this therapy will benefit future generation is all in this book.
I recommend it also to anybody wanting to improve their lot in life. It is written in easy to understand laypersons language.
The editors have gathered papers from some of the leaders in this science and it just jells together to give professional and amateurs alike an insight in to themselves and others. Well done Alex and Stephen it's a `must have'.
