ABSTRACT:
This paper addresses the constituent
elements of Positive Psychology, especially relating to healthy human
development. It revises authors of Humanistic-Existential Psychology, the
proposal to unite the human flourish to personal and social well-being, with
the division into three major elements, namely: positive emotions, positive
traits and positive institutions. It depends on building themselves a salutogenic
health way as structure of a personological basis, constantly developing in the
course of life, directing to reflections on the vital dynamics, throughout the
existence, taking into account aspects of well-being and best development of
expectations, feelings and values. And it provides interfaces Emotional
Calendar recently stressed that allows us to understand how the environment and
the person interact across the life cycle, reviewing the seasons, times and
spaces, and significant events that act along the maturation and human
maturity. All these elements lead to better understand and be able to act in a
human development in all its phases and dimensionalities.
