Abstract
RESUMO: Este artigo pretende rever a etiologia e os conceitos inerentes à Psiquiatria Positiva e à Psicologia Positiva, assim como as suas estreitas relações com o conceito de bem-estar.Centrando-se nos fatores psicossociais positivos, nas virtudes e forças de caráter do ser humano, estas novas abordagens ambicionam uma melhor compreensão da psicopatologia, alterando o foco do tratamento dos sintomas para a promoção do bem-estar.O mindfulness, cujos conceitos se interligam com as abordagens positivas, é também aqui apresentado como uma prática complementar essencial à prevenção e tratamento da psicopatologia, tendo sempre como objetivo final a satisfação e bem-estar do indivíduo.
