(EDT); Lopez, Shane J., ISBN 0195187245, ISBN-13 9780195187243, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US This second edition of the handbook brings together recent developments in the field of positive psychology. Edited by the late C. R. Snyder of the University of Kansas and by Shane Lopez of the Clifton Strengths Institute, Omaha, with contributions by a host of experts in psychology, education, childhood development and social science, this volume explains the discipline and how it is intended to complement other aspects of behavioral psychology. The articles explore the reasons for one to have a sense of happiness and well-being, both physiological and situational before discussing different approaches to applying positive psychology in practice. Emphasis is placed on counseling children and teenagers to develop positive ways of coping. However, all the stages of life are touched upon. Studies of campus and workplace environments are analyzed. The conclusion, by Lopez, reminds the reader that positive psychology is the study, not of neuroses, but of "what is best in people".
