Positive Psychology, Interpersonal Acceptance and Rejection Theory and Systemic Approach: Perspectives on Combined Applications

Positive psychology-based approaches tend to focus on positive experiences and positive individual characteristics, as well as their contribution to the person’s general wellbeing. This paper aims to perceive Interpersonal Acceptance and Rejection Theory (IPARTheory) and its systemic applications under a positive psychology point of view. Specifically, reviewing recent literature, regarding IPARTheory and its applications in different psychological approaches, we attempt to propose some systemic psychology-based practices for both, prevention and intervention, trying to embrace the contribution of the positive psychology approach.
