This symposium is about resilience and positivity. We will invite experts from the field of stress, trauma and depression. Besides academic speakers, we will also invite “experience experts”, who will share their personal stories about resilience. Positive psychology builds further on the humanistic movement, and focuses on well-being and positivity. Positive psychology is gaining in popularity, particularly in the clinical field, because for patients it can be very helpful to not only focus on their problems and limitations, but also on their strengths. To which extent this movement is evidence-based and whether it is solely a reaction to the ‘negative’ psychology of stress and trauma research will be a topic of discussion.
The program as stated below is still not certain. Please be aware that there may be some changes.
