A Positive Psychology That Matters
Lopez, Shane L.; Magyar-Moe, Jeana L.
Counseling Psychologist, v34 n2 p323-330 2006
The Major Contribution intended to situate positive psychology in counseling psychology's past and future and in the complex world we live and work in today. The four reactions (Frazier, Lee,& Steger; Gerstein; Linley; Mollen, Ethington,& Ridley) provide new insights into how counseling psychology has and will contribute to the study of human strengths and positive outcomes. In this rejoinder, the authors attempt to build on their colleagues' ideas and call for socially significant strength-based research and practice. A "positive psychology that matters" will address societal problems and will potentially help people capitalize on their strengths and lead more satisfying and meaningful lives.
