Ryff and Chiara RuiniThis unique theory-to-practice volume presents far-reaching advances in positive and existential therapy, with emphasis on meaning-making as central to coping and resilience, growth and positive change.

从临床实践的角度出发，对于“意义”这一概念的理解和诠释，并且特别关注了积极心理学和存在主义心理治疗这两种治疗方法。积极心理治疗侧重于培养个体的优势和美德，以促进个人的幸福感和生活质量；而存在心理治疗则着重探讨生命的意义、自由、责任以及孤独等基本存在议题。两者结合可以为理解人类心理提供一个更全面的框架。
