"Give generously, challenge yourself and constantly learn"

Anastasios Stalikas

The Hellenic Association of Positive Psychology is a nonprofit scientific organization aiming at promoting Positive Psychology.

Positive Psychology is defined as an autonomous branch of psychology which focuses on well-being, psychological health, personal development, work-life balance and meaning making procedures. Psychologists in this field conduct studies in which they examine the elements that contribute to individual advancement as well as to the leading of a happier and more meaningful life.  Positive Psychology is intended to complement the classical psychological approach which deals mainly with psychological illness.

During the last decade, an increasing number of research findings indicate that positive stands towards reality (i.e., optimism, hope) can significantly assist individuals and organizations in their effort to function efficiently and in balance with natural and social environment. Positive Psychology is founded on the systematic study of human behavior, emotion and thought.

THE APPLICATIONS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY IN COUNSELLING

The book is addressed to every psychologist, counsellor and psychotherapist, and is an innovative project aimed at creating a new narrative about the relationship between counselling and positive psychology. To this end, particular emphasis is placed on highlighting the ways in which the principles and interventions of positive psychology can be applied in counselling practice to different population groups, such as children, adolescents, older people, women, people with chronic illnesses and emerging adults. It is structured to enable the reader to understand what counselling and positive psychology are and how specific concepts of positive psychology can be woven into counselling practice in different contexts. The aim is for readers to gradually apply the principles of positive psychology to their counselling practice as an integrated practice aimed at the psychological flourishing of individuals, groups and systems.
