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.
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.

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.
Written by two leaders of the positive psychology initiative, this groundbreaking new text brings positive social science to life through a comprehensive review of literature and well-crafted exercises that encourage readers to put positive psychology principles to the test. Positive Psychology: Scientific and Practical Applications of Human Strengths covers western and eastern approaches to understanding human strengths, along with the cultural and developmental influences on positive functioning. Key approaches for measuring and enhancing strengths and capitalizing on positive experiences are described.
