Philosophical foundation of positive psychology in Ancient Greece: Rooted in the ideas of Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato, this foundation emphasizes that actively pursuing virtuous and morally good lives leads to "authentic happiness" (see historical context). They believed that virtue and moral excellence are essential for well-being and fulfillment.
Seligman’s paradigm shift from disease model to flourishing: Martin Seligman (2000) proposed a fundamental change in psychology, moving away from focusing solely on mental illness and deficits towards promoting human strengths and well-being, aiming to help individuals flourish and live meaningful lives rather than merely recovering from pathology.
Core aims of positive psychology approach: The primary goals are to scientifically understand and enhance human strengths, to focus on personal growth and well-being, and to develop interventions that promote flourishing, happiness, and fulfillment, shifting the emphasis from fixing problems to building positive qualities (see Seligman’s paradigm).
