Since the turn of the twenty-first century, the field of positive
psychology has sought to implement a science of human flourishing
so that we may lead happier, more fulfilling lives. It has found
expression not only in academic papers but also popular books and,
increasingly, in government policy. The Routledge International
Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology is the first volume
dedicated to a critical appraisal of this influential but
controversial field of study. The book critically examines not only
the scientific foundations of positive psychology, but also the
sociocultural and political tenets on which the field rests. It
evaluates the current field of knowledge and practice, and includes
chapters analysing the methodological constructs of the field, as
well as others that question what positive psychology actually
means by ideas such as happiness or well-being. Taking the debate
further, the book then discusses how positive psychology can be
applied in a wider variety of settings than is presently the case,
helping communities and individuals by acknowledging the reality of
people's lives rather than adhering strictly to debateable
theoretical constructs. Including contributions from disciplines
ranging from psychoanalysis to existential therapy, theology to
philosophy, and contributors from throughout the world, The
Routledge International Handbook of Critical Positive Psychology
will be enlightening reading for anyone interested in how
psychology has sought to understand human well-being.

An overview of the extensive and frequently controversial
literature on communally breeding birds developed since the early
