Abstract

The number of studies conducted with a holistic perspective as an alternative to the traditional clinical psychology approach has increased. It is noteworthy that studies examine the effects of positive concepts on human health in addition to discomfort. In this study, it was aimed to examine four concepts that are frequently researched in positive psychology, namely well-being, psychological resilience, hope and coping in an integrative context. Also, it was aimed to give information about the positive clinical psychology approach and the studies which investigate these four positive concepts. Studies were searched through PsycARTICLE, EBSCO and Pubmed electronic databases. Totally 208 studies were reached and 26 articles were included in this review article. As a result, the effective results in treatment of psychological disorders and increase of well-being of an individual with positive psychology interventions suggest that it is important to expand the positive perspective in clinical psychology. It is thought that it may be clinically important that the presence/increase of positive concepts as well as the absence/decrease of psychopathologies should be one of the treatment targets of mental health specialists. It is hoped that adopting an integrative perspective in future studies will enrich empirical research in the field of psychotherapy.

İnsan İşleyişini Anlamaya Yönelik Bütünleştirici Bir Bakış Açısı: Pozitif Klinik Psikoloji

Abstract

Geleneksel klinik psikoloji yaklaşımına alternatif olarak bütüncül bir bakış açısı ile yürütülen çalışmaların sayısı artmaktadır. Çalışmalarda rahatsızlıklara ek olarak olumlu kavramların insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerinin incelendiği dikkati çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, olumlu kavramlardan iyi oluş, psikolojik dayanıklılık, umut ve başa çıkma olmak üzere pozitif psikoloji alanında sıklıkla araştırılan dört kavramın bütünleştirici bir bağlamda incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca, çalışmamızda pozitif klinik psikoloji yaklaşımı ve bu dört olumlu kavramın yer aldığı araştırmalar hakkında bilgi aktarımı yapılması hedeflenmiştir. PsycARTICLE, EBSCO ve Pubmed elektronik veritabanları kullanılarak çalışmalar taranmıştır. Tarama sonucunda 208 çalışmaya ulaşılmış olup, derlemeye 26 müdahale çalışması dahil edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, pozitif psikoloji müdahaleleri ile psikolojik rahatsızlıkların tedavisi ve bireyin iyilik halinin artışı açısından etkili sonuçlar alınması, klinik psikoloji alanında pozitif bakış açısının genişletilmesinin oldukça önemli olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Psikopatolojilerin yokluğu/azalması kadar olumlu kavramların varlığının/artışının ruh sağlığı alanındaki uzmanların tedavi hedefleri arasında yer almasının klinik açıdan önemli olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Gelecek çalışmalarda bütüncül bir bakış açısının benimsenmesinin, psikoterapi alanındaki ampirik araştırmaları zenginleştireceği umut edilmektedir.
