Abstract

More than a decade since the foundation of Positive Psychology by Martin Seligman, this paper aims to analyze this branch of psychology starting at its very beginning, considering its precedents, its topics of interest, its production, its diffusion, its implications for clinical practice, and future research lines. Furthermore, this paper introduces a discussion regarding the future of Positive Psychology: either its dissolution, or its integration with the other fields of psychology.
