Handbook of Positive Psychology Paperback – 13 October 2011

Loved it!

Imprescindibile per chi vuole conoscere la psicologia del benessere, cosi come il successivo Handbook of Happiness. Tutte cose ancora semisconosciute in Italia.

This is a collection of articles that provide an in-depth analysis of various areas of positive psychology. It complements Shane J Lopez & C.R Snyder's "Positive Psychology: The Scientific and Practical Explorations of Human Strengths" texbook very well. Is a very good resource for psychology students, practitioners and researchers in psychology. Fast delivery!

I have found these entries to be most handy. They are a good length (ranging from 2 pages or so to a bit longer) and have helpful bibliographies at the end. The entries I have read thus far have all been well written and informative. Occasionally these Handbooks can appear to be nice things to have that are never really used, but I have already gotten enough use out of this to consider it a worthwhile purchase.

This is a very comprehensive text, I struggled with spending all of the money but actually it is an invaluable resource which all serve me for many years. The other thing to note is that it is written as an academic resource, which Snyder does not always do.David
