The mission of the Center for Positive Psychology is to employ and promote the application of positive, integrative, and complementary approaches to psychological health and growth. The "positive" reference is to Positive Psychology and its positive relatives, such as Solution-Focused approaches. "Integrative" refers to the fact that we believe that no one school of psychological thought has ident
ified the absolute and complete "truth", so we apply methods from various schools, depending on the need of the individual."Complementary" implies that we include the best of the more than 100 years of research and experience which has been gained in the field with innovative strategies that have not yet accumulated the same evidence base, but have been shown to be both safe and effective in practice.
