Positive Psychotherapy was Developed by: Nossrat Peseschkian
Overview: "The method of Positive Psychotherapy belongs to the humanistic, transcultural and psychodynamic psychotherapeutic methods. The method is based on the new positive image of man that man is good by nature and endowed with four kinds of capabilities: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Illnesses and disorders are therefore interpreted in a new and positive way, and through the use of stories, anecdotes and examples from other cultures the patient is encouraged to play a more active role in his own healing process. Positive Psychotherapy believes that every human being is an entity of body, mind, emotions and spirit. The aim of the therapeutic process is to help the client to develop his inborn capabilities and to find the balance in his daily-life. The patient is encouraged to become a therapist for his own family and environment. Elements of other psychotherapeutic methods are used in order to be flexible in the treatment of the patient: Positive Psychotherapy is an interdisciplinary approach." ~Excerpt from Positum.org
