Gespenstergeschichten — mit zusammen gebissenen Zähnen auf dem Bett im dunklen Zimmer kauern, die leise Stimme des Erzählers haucht: »Die knarrende Tür öffnet sich fast unbemerkt von alleine ... (laut mit kräftiger Stimme) Aahhh!« Alle Zuhörer zucken zusammen und schreien auf! Diese Erfahrung der Kindheit dürfte wohl für die meisten in guter Erinnerung sein — wir liebten die Geschichten und wollten immer noch eine weitere hören, auch wenn die Spannung kaum auszuhalten war. Als Erwachsene werden wir z. B. von Kriminalgeschichten in Fernsehen oder Kino in solche Zustände gespannter Erwartung versetzt, in denen uns das kleinste Geräusch intensive Schauder über den Rücken laufen lässt.

This article introduces the Special Section, which explores the potential importance of positive emotions in our theory, research, and practice. The authors propose that the peripheral role that psychotherapy theory, research, and practice has allotted to the variable "positive emotion" can be understood in terms of the foundational axioms of our discipline. The authors argue that psychotherapy has implicitly adopted an attitude of caution and suspicion toward the potential therapeutic value of experiencing positive emotions, an all embracing attitude toward the therapeutic value of experiencing negative emotions, and an identity focused on healing psychological wounds at the expense of promoting psychological well-being. The authors trace the adoption of these axioms to Judeo-Christian ideas of human nature and to the identity formation process of psychotherapy, and the authors speculate on the sociopolitical forces that have promoted a shift in our theorizing in the last few decades.

Positive affects in the context of positive dyadic interactions are fundamental to mental health and the development of the self; the authors consider them from within accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP), an attachment and emotion model of psychotherapy. The authors explore 3 phenomenological, affective, and behavioral sets of positive affects--mastery affects, healing affects, and core state--and understand their adaptive value by referencing the realms of attachment, intersubjectivity, and affective neuroscience. In the context of a positive coordinated therapeutic relationship, the authors detail an experiential process in which the dyadic regulation of painful emotion naturally culminates in the emergence of positive affects and positive emotional states, which, in turn, are vehicles for accessing the emotional resources associated with resilient functioning and emotional flourishing. Detailed transcripts from 2 videotaped sessions are microanalyzed to delineate the moment-to-moment phenomenology and dynamics of the AEDP therapeutic process and to document the spontaneous emergence of these positive affective phenomena in a context designed to make the most of their therapeutic effectiveness.

A science of positive subjective experience, positive individual traits, and positive institutions promises to improve quality of life and prevent the pathologies that arise when life is barren and meaningless. The exclusive focus on pathology that has dominated so much of our discipline results in a model of the human being lacking the positive features that make life worth living. Hope, wisdom, creativity, future mindedness, courage, spirituality, responsibility, and perseverance are ignored or explained as transformations of more authentic negative impulses. The 15 articles in this millennial issue of the American Psychologist discuss such issues as what enables happiness, the effects of autonomy and self-regulation, how optimism and hope affect health, what constitutes wisdom, and how talent and creativity come to fruition. The authors outline a framework for a science of positive psychology, point to gaps in our knowledge, and predict that the next century will see a science and profession that will come to understand and build the factors that allow individuals, communities, and societies to flourish.
Article
This article presents the Control-Mastery view that patients organize the process of their psychotherapy in their search for psychological safety with the therapist. According to this theory, people unconsciously assess their social environments for signals of safety and danger, relaxing their defenses when it seems safe to do so. In therapy, patients test to find the safety with the therapist which would free them to be less defensive in that relationship and, ultimately, in all their relationships. Understanding how patients' activity in psychotherapy is organized by their search for safety can simplify the treatment process for the therapist and help to guide the therapist's interventions. Clinical examples are used to illustrate these ideas. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
Article
This handbook offers therapists an approach to helping clients live in harmony with head and heart. Leslie Greenberg proposes that, rather than controlling or avoiding emotions, clients can learn from their own bodily reactions and begin to act sensibly on them. Expressing emotion in ways that are appropriate to context is a highly complex skill. Offering clinical wisdom, practical guidance and case illustration, the volume presents an empirically-supported model of training clients to attain emotional wisdom.
