DescriptionCan the application of Positive psychology be influential in developing character strengths such as resiliency and courage? Will the development and cultivation of resiliency from childhood influence our future response and affect our coping to grief and loss? How are we able to find meaning and gratitude in the midst of significant loss?
Educational styles, parenting styles, defense mechanisms, character strengths, bereavement, and adaptation and acceptance of loss will be explored. Historical and contemporary theories about grief and loss will be examined. Courage, resiliency and perseverance will be surveyed through the lens of applied psychology, with a focus not only on the psychology of coping and grief but also how it is viewed in current culture through the medium of the arts, such as literature and media.
