Ludoterapia com crianças em situação de risco e resiliência: estudo de casos

Abstract

The present paper presents a critical literature revision, discussing overlaps and differences between Positive Psychology and Humanistic Psychology. First of all, the origins and develop of Psychology focusing on its traditional perspective related to psychopathologies and human

vulnerabilities are briefly presented. Secondly, ideas and aims of the Positive Psychology Paradigm presented by Martin Seligman and Humanistic Psychology posited by Maslow and more specifically, by Centered-Person Approach theoretical are also presented. Several similarities are identified between these two paradigms; therefore, these aspects are very little explored in scientific publications in both areas.
