“…Ryff's model of psychological well-being, encompassing autonomy, personal growth, environmental mastery, purpose in life, positive relations and self-acceptance especially has been found to fit into specific impairments of patients with affective disorders (Rafanelli, et al, 2000;Ruini & Fava, 2002). The developments of this element paved way for well-being enhancing psychotherapeutic strategies in clinical medicine.…”

“…Remitted patients with mood and anxiety disorders displayed significantly lower levels of psychological well-being as measured by the Psychological Well Being Scales (Ryff, 1989) compared with healthy control subjects (Rafanelli, et al, 2000). The question then arose as to whether such impairment is also amenable to improvement with psychological treatment.…”

In clinical psychology, Well-Being Therapy (WBT) is a relatively modern technique of managing patients with depression. Well Being Therapy is based on Ryff's multidimensional model of psychological well-being. Fava has developed and validated it in a number of randomized controlled trials. The findings indicate that positive evaluation of one's self, sense of continued growth and development is possible by specific intervention. The objective of this therapy is to increase the level of psychological well-being of patients and decrease vulnerability to depression. WBT can be executed in 8 to 10 sessions according to Fava's phases. Method: Sample of 40 patients was treated by WBT (20) and CBT (20) and was assessed for the level of psychological well-being (PWB) before and after the interventions. Results: ANOVA showed significant difference between pre and post treatment scores and WBT is more effective than CBT. Conclusions: The results suggested the feasibility and clinical advantages of adding WBT to repertoire of the treatment techniques.

“…Fava argued that recovery in treatment should not only be defined in terms of absence of symptomatology but in terms of presence of well-being as well (Fava et al, 1998). Several studies showed that clients who had been treated but relapsed and needed new treatment for depression or anxiety had substantially lower levels of psychological well-being than matched health groups (Rafanelli et al, 2000;Fava et al, 2001). The absence of psychological well-being can thus be considered a risk factor for relapse that a large group of clients experiences in the years following treatment (Labbate & Doyle, 1997;Ramana et al, 1995).…”

“…It encompasses six dimensions of eudaimonic well-being: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, purpose in life, selfacceptance and positive interpersonal relationships. Indeed, these dimensions are often impaired in patients with affective disorders (Fava et al, 1998a;Fava et al, 2001;Rafanelli et al, 2000). However, a variety of clinical situations has provided data and indicators that psychological distress or even psychopathology may arise when these dimensions are too elevated .…”

An increasing number of investigations in the positive psychology area has suggested the benefits of improving well-being and positivity. However, observations from clinical domains raised some concerns on the effectiveness and utility of such interventions, because excessively elevated levels in positive domains could become detrimental and impede flourishing. The aim of this article is to describe these polarities in well-being and to suggest specific therapeutic strategies to promote flourishing and resilience. Well-being therapy (WBT) is a psychotherapeutic technique based on Ryff's conceptual model, that has been developed and tested in a number of randomized controlled trials. The differential technical characteristics and indications of WBT are described, with special reference to the promotion of an individualized and balanced path to achieve optimal human functioning, avoiding the polarities in positive psychological dimensions. Key words: well-being therapy, positive psychology, positive interventions, psychological well-being; depression, anxiety, recovery ResumenUn número creciente de investigaciones en el área de la Psicología positiva sugiere que incrementar el bienestar y la positividad conlleva beneficios. Sin embargo, observaciones del ámbito clínico han suscitado algunas cautelas sobre la efectividad y utilidad de dichas intervenciones ya que niveles excesivamente elevados en los dominios positivos pudieran ser perjudiciales e impide el florecimiento. El objetivo de este artículo es describir estas polaridades en el bienestar y sugerir estrategias terapéuticas para promover el florecimiento y la resiliencia. La terapia del bienestar (TB) es una técnica de psicoterapia, basada en el modelo conceptual de Ryff, que ha sido desarrollada y sometida a prueba en una serie de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Se describen las características técnicas diferenciales y las indicaciones de la TB, con especial referencia a la promoción de una vía individualizada y equilibrada para conseguir un funcionamiento humano óptimo, evitando las polaridades en las dimensiones psicológicas positivas.
