It can be summarised in the words of its founder, Martin Seligman, as the ‘scientific study of optimal human functioning [that] aims to discover and promote the factors that allow individuals and communities to thrive'. (Positive Psychology website – 2011) But was Seligman actually the founder? Rogers and Maslow · This means that each person, in different ways, seeks to grow psychologically and continuously enhance themselves. · This has been captured by the term self-actualisationwhich is about psychological growth, fulfilment and satisfaction in life. · Central to the humanist theories of Rogers and Maslow are the subjective, conscious experiences of the individual. · Humanistic psychologists argued that objective reality is less important than a person's subjective perception and subjective understanding of the world. · Because of this Rogers and Maslow less value on ‘scientific’ psychology - especially the use of the psychology laboratory to investigate both human and other animal behaviour · Thus emphasise ‘phenomenological’ approaches to understanding human behaviour Copyright The University of Winchester 2021. All rights reserved2 Copyright The University of Winchester 2021. All rights reserved2 Humanistic Psychology Link · The Humanistic approach emphasises the personal worth of the individual, the centrality of human values, and the creative, active nature of human beings · The approach is optimistic and focuses on human capacity to overcome hardship, pain and despair · Main figures/theorists = Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow · Both Rogers and Maslow regarded personal growth and fulfilment in life as a basic human motive. (Simply Psychology – 2011) Phenomenology · The domain of phenomenology is the range of experiences - including passive experience (as in vision or hearing) and also active experience (as in walking or hammering a nail or kicking a ball) · The range will be specific to each species of being that enjoys consciousness; our focus is on our own, human, experience. · At a basic level it’s about how other people see and experience the world Phenomenology in Human Service Contexts · A phenomenological approach to understanding human behaviour involves:- · Observing behaviour and analysing experience in relation to the contexts in which it occurs · Recognising that different ‘actors’ will have different perceptions (perspectives) shaped by there experience of a situation/context · Using this knowledge to inform and reshape service contexts and experiences in a positive way · An incongruent individual (client) · A congruent person (therapist/supporting individual) · Unconditional positive regard therapist ---> client · Empathic understanding which the supportive individual (or therapist) communicates to the clientThe basis of therapeutic relationships within this context: 2 persons in a psychological context The Therapeutic Relationship · Achievement of this communication of unconditional positive regard and empathic understanding from supportive individual/therapist --->client (adapted from Rogers, 1961) In direct work two concepts are key: · The notion of ‘client as expert’ - as Rogers says It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried (Rogers, 1961:72)Person - centred approaches applying Roger ’ s ideas in direct work · the need for fulfilment of two key human needs: fulfil one’s potential and be regarded positively by others. These two needs may often conflict Following in humanistic tradition? · So maybe positive psychology is actually following in the humanistic tradition – although not always acknowledging it! · It focuses on the ‘potentials’ - it is not targeted at fixing problems, but on researching things that make life worth living instead · Established about ten years ago - it is a rapidly developing field · ‘Its aspiration is to bring solid empirical research into areas such as well-being, flow, personal strengths, wisdom, creativity, psychological health and characteristics of positive groups and institutions’ (Positive Psychology website 2011) Copyright The University of Winchester 2021.

All rights reserved12 Three levels of positive psychology · The science of positive psychology operates on three different levels - the subjective level, the individual level and the group level. · The subjective level includes the study of positive experiences such as joy, well-being, satisfaction, contentment, happiness, optimism and flow. This level is about feeling good, rather than doing good or being a good person. · At the next level, the aim is to identify the constituents of the ‘good life' and the personal qualities that are necessary for being a ‘good person', through studying human strengths and virtues, futuremindedness, capacity for love, courage, perseverance, forgiveness, originality, wisdom, interpersonal skills and giftedness. · Finally, at the group or community level, the emphasis is on civic virtues, social responsibilities, nurturance, altruism, civility, tolerance, work ethics, positive institutions and other factors that contribute to the development of citizenship and communities How do you think this might useful in relation to working with your chosen group?
