Positive Psychology on the College Campus Summary

Positive Psychology on the College Campus by John C. Wade (Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Clinical Psychology Program, Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Clinical Psychology Program, Emporia State University)

The field of positive psychology has blossomed over the past several years. A positive psychology course has become the most popular elective at Harvard, and leaders in many fields regularly draw upon concepts and strategies from the field's growing body of research. Because positive psychology provides a framework for enhancing individual, group, and institutional well-being, it is particularly relevant for college campuses, which are ripe for such strength-based interventions. Positive Psychology on the College Campus provides innovative strategies that can be employed with students to enhance both their personal development and educational experiences. The book also provides an overview of the state of college students' mental health and relevant developmental issues. Individual chapters, all written by experts in their fields, describe practical strategies for readers to use with students. Additionally, the authors explain how positive psychology can be applied in general to the college experience. With its wide-ranging topics and distinguished contributors, Positive Psychology on the College Campus is a must-have resource for all those who work with college students, including faculty, academic advisors, administrators, residence-life staff, counselors, and student-activities staff.

Positive Psychology on the College Campus Reviews

This is an important book. I've long argued that positive psychology has the potential to transform higher education, and the provocative chapters included in this book provide anyone who works with college students with extremely valuable resources in the field. If you are a teacher, administrator, counselor, parent, student, or someone interested in the future quality of higher education, you will find the ideas and research here indispensable. Strongly recommended! --Ken Bain, author of What the Best College Teachers Do, and What the Best College Students Do Helping students flourish - providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to lead a happy and fulfilling life - is perhaps education's most noble and important responsibility. Positive Psychology on the College Campus shows how we can take this noble and important ideal and make it a reality. --Tal Ben-Shahar, School of Psychology, IDC Herzliya, and author of Happier As expectations for more students to succeed and thrive in college grow, so does the need for innovative strategies to address contemporary campus challenges. This book offers a fresh perspective on student success, providing college educators dedicated to helping more students optimize their undergraduate experience an array of approaches rooted in positive psychology, accessible applications across a range of areas of student development, and practical interventions to increase institutional effectiveness. --Jillian Kinzie, Associate Director, School of Education Center for Postsecondary Research, Indiana University Higher education holds the promise of a good job and a great life. This book explores the psychological constructs and processes that make higher education positive and productive. --Shane J. Lopez, Senior Scientist and Research Director, Clifton Strengths Institute/Gallup, and author of Making Hope Happen Ever wonder how students beat the odds and succeed even when confronted with a host of challenges? Positive psychology may be the answer. The multiple applications of positive psychology to higher education in this book will help educators shift from a deficit perspective to empowering students to thrive on both their successes and challenges. We need a fresh talent development approach if we hope to close the college completion gaps. --Sylvia Hurtado, Professor of Higher Education and Organizational Change, University of California, Los Angeles Positive Psychology on the College Campus pulls together the literature from various fields to create connections not previously considered. Administrators will find the application to practice helpful in thinking about new ways to deliver programs that enhance the student experience. --Vasti Torres, Dean and Professor, College of Education, University of South Florida
