Abstract
V originále
The expansion of positive psychology, a noticeable direction in current psychology and psychotherapy, has led to an increasing emphasis on the study and promotion of positive functioning in clinical psychology research and psychotherapy. This paper focuses on the importance of humanistic psychology as one of the most powerful sources of inspiration for positive psychology and psychotherapy. Positive psychology and particularly Rogers’ Person-Centred Approach (PCA) overlap in theoretical presuppositions and thematic content thanks to the extensive historical grounding of positive psychology within humanistic psychology. This paper gives a brief overview of positive psychology themes and points out the reflections, similarities and connections between the PCA and Client-Centred Therapy (CCT) with positive psychology and psychotherapy. The paper will accentuate the holistic approach in positive psychotherapy, which attempts to prevent and treat psychopathology as well as enhance well-being, and may be a central component of good psychotherapy.
