To me, I see positive psychology as a person’s overall happiness (while being in a good mental, physical and emotional state of mind). Positive psychology is the bettering of one’s self even though they might already be perfectly happy - it is taking that extra step to improve your happiness.

This theory studies the relationship between the various parts of a human being as they relate to motivational, mental and emotional forces (Kalat, 2013). Psychodynamics further explores how the psychological forces are related to the early experience of an individual. As developed

This was fundamental because prior to this time emphasis was mainly put on treatment after health issues arose. This branch of psychology did not fail to acknowledge other areas of study, but placed emphasis on

into the inner workings of the human mind, and intuition on human relationships can be ascertained from many different arenas of knowledge with varying degrees of truth. Psychology and Christianity both house extensive truth on life. In Integrative Approaches to Psychology and Christianity: An Introduction to Worldview Issues, Philosophical Foundations, and Models of Integration, Entwistle (2010) argued for the blending of psychology and Christianity, believing that together they can best answer the
