Positive Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Negative thought patterns or thought processes have been shown to be the core cognitive theories of depression. Seligman and his colleague’s positive psychology exercises (PPEs) have been instrumental in treating patients with mental illness. Psychiatry has focused on diagnosing and treating disorders. There are increasing prevention models and strategies that are fundamental for promoting positivity and resilience in youth today. There is still a paucity of research on positive psychiatry and psychology in children and adolescents. There is an increasing need for studies on youth positivity, wellness, and resilience. This chapter will expound on how youth mental health experts and trainees can be more familiar with and use positivity in their patient’s treatment formulation to enhance resiliency in youth.
