摘要

Positive psychotherapy (PPT) was first described by Nossrat Peseschkian in 1977 as a “new psychotherapeutic approach.” Later authors commented it as being a transcultural, psychodynamic, humanistic, eclectic, or an integrative approach. Where are the historical, philosophical, and scientific roots of this method? On which other authors, methods, or theories is it based? What place does it take today within the psychotherapeutic field? What is specific and what does it have in common with other methods? In this chapter, we summarize the contributions of the humanistic approach, the psychodynamic theory, transcultural thinking, and cognitive behavioral therapy, to the development, structure, and organization of Peseschkian’s PPT model.
