Writeaway's reference post 14:43 Jul 25, 2020
The references provided by Writeaway are probably highly relevant here. It's worth checking with the client. I'm a clinical psychologist and trained in what is known as the integrative approach. In simple terms, it involves not just sticking to one approach, not one philosophy but being open to a number of approaches depending on what you are most at ease within a particular set of circumstances with a particular person or group of people. It's the opposite of a one-size-fits-all approach. Some of the training in cognitive psychology included an introduction into positive psychology (origins, methods and applications). I have also studied it further this past year. Happiness comes into it. Before studying psychology, I obtained a master's research degree in biology and neuroscience. Some of the self-help stuff is evidence-based psychology made accessible. Some of it is pseudo-science and basically crap. There is also a lot in between. I always read and make up my own mind, easier with evidence-based approaches. An accurate translation of this expression will require seeing where this actually sits in your context. Without it, you might be off-track. My advice? Ask the client. ;- |
