Description

This book on the new paradigm of existential positive psychology (PP2.0) or second-wave positive psychology focusses on the importance of transcending or transforming negative experiences and emotions to achieve durable flourishing.

The book offers exciting new concepts and skills in the practice of counselling psychology. Positive psychology is evolving due to changing times and circumstances.

PP2.0 opens new vistas for research and interventions in counselling psychology and positive psychology.

Instead of relying only on the positives, it posits the importance of navigating an optimal balance between positives and negatives in each context.

It emphasizes the importance of inner peace, balance, and harmony rather than the pursuit of happiness or positive emotions.

More importantly, PP2.0 is based on meeting the basic human needs for 1) the need to be liberated from the suffering and human bondage, 2) the hope of achieving a meaningful future, 3) the need to relate to others in a compassionate and authentic way so that people can experience genuine kindness and love, and 4) the deep-seated spiritual need for a sense of oneness with a Higher Power or nature.

This volume explores ways to help individuals to be liberated from their inherent limitations and, at the same time, empower them to achieve their highest aspirations. With an updated Introduction, this book is the ideal companion for any student or practitioner looking for an insightful overview of positive psychology including humanistic psychology, existential positive psychology as well as counselling psychology.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Counselling Psychology Quarterly.
