Topics include mindsets, positive emotions, character strengths and virtues, optimal functioning and flow, learned optimism, attachment in relationships, mindfulness, and spirituality. Candidates will critically analyze research and demonstrate an evidenced-based repertoire of potential pathways to well-being through class activities/discussion, reflective writing assignments, and hypothetical treatment plans.
