Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) is a resource oriented psychotherapeutic treatment method for individuals, couples, and families. It can be described as a humanistic and transcultural psychodynamic psychotherapy and is based on a positive conception of human nature and salutogenetic principles. PPT is an integrative method, which is open to systematically include methods fitting the patients or the families. It is also used as a counselling method and in prevention.
It was developed by Nossrat Peseschkian and co-workers in Germany since 1968.
