Nuevo enfoque crítico de la Psicología Positivala perspectiva de P. Bourdieu

Abstract

Positive Psychology is acquiring more and more diffusion and influence in multiple academic and social spheres. He has received harsh criticism from within Psychology itself, which already seems exhausted. It is, therefore, necessary to look for new reflective horizons outside the field of Psychology. The aim of the present work is to suggest a renewing interdisciplinary critical reflection on the scientific improvement of happiness. One such perspective is that of Bourdieu's sociological theory. It is concluded that this author can make innovative contributions for a critical reflection of the current situation of Positive Psychology. These reflective innovations are mainly theoretical as well as sociological science. In addition, on many occasions, one must be very careful with the ideological use of the psychology of positivity as a commodity in a neoliberal political culture of happiness.
