Abstract/Excerpt

Excerpt

The focus of positive psychology can be seen as an attempt to address the philosophical question first put forth by the ancient Greeks: “what does it mean to live a good life?” . When people's physical body changes and the person‐environment interaction significantly alters due to a chronic illness/disability condition, this question can take on additional dimensions and importance.
