Rick Snyder was een internationaal erkend professor op het snijvlak van klinische, sociale, persoonlijkheids- en gezondheidspsychologie. Zijn theorieën onderzochten hoe mensen reageren op persoonlijke feedback, de menselijke behoefte aan uniciteit en de drang om overtredingen te verontschuldigen. Zijn meest recente onderzoek richtte zich op de motivatie van hoop en vergeving. Als pionier van de positieve psychologie beschreef Snyder de impact van hoop op diverse levensgebieden, waaronder gezondheid, kinderen, spiritualiteit en werk.




What strengths does a person employ to deal effectively with life? This handbook provides a forum for a more positive view of the human condition.
Hope has previously been a construct more of interest to philosophy and religion than in psychology. New research has shown, however, that hope is closely related to optimism, feelings of control, and motivation toward achieving one's goals. The Handbook of Hope presents a comprehensive overview of the psychological inquiry into hope, including its measurement, its development in children, how its loss is associated with specific clinical disorders, and therapeutic approaches that can help instill hope in those who have lost theirs. A final section discusses hope in occupational how the use of hope can make one a better coach, teacher, or parent.
The book provides an in-depth exploration of positive psychology, focusing on the science behind positive emotions and human strengths. The authors introduce innovative frameworks that enhance understanding and application of these concepts, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners interested in fostering well-being and personal growth.
