Humanistic Psychology a Rise for Positive Psychology

This article will explore the common ground between positive and humanistic Psychology. Positive psychology is contributing to a more precise definition of the outline of human well-being and is fully incorporating studies on positive elements (strength and positive emotions) that are without doubt amplifying the framework of research and conduct of psychology, in particular that of clinical psychology and health psychology. This paper therefore begins with a brief review of the humanistic movement and its ongoing call for a more positive psychology. We then move into an exploration of the unique research approaches and areas of study will include the perspective of eudaimonic and headonism. We will investigate on such issues as well being and happiness in light of positive psychology.
