Özet

Pozitif psikoloji yaklaşımıyla birlikte ruh sağlığı alanında bireylerin pozitif duygularına ve güçlü yanlarına olan vurgu artmaya başlamıştır. Pozitif psikoloji yaklaşımıyla birlikte pozitif duyguların danışanların iyilik hallerine katkı sunma potansiyellerine dikkat çekilmekte ve bu çerçevede yapılan çeşitli çalışmalar, pozitif bir duygu olarak şükran duymanın danışanların ruh sağlığını iyileştirmede kullanılan araçlardan biri haline geldiğini göstermektedir. Bu gözden geçirme çalışmasında, çeşitli alanlarda oldukça eski ancak psikoloji alanında güncel bir konu olan şükran kavramı çeşitli boyutlarıyla ele alınmakta ve bu çerçevede uygulayıcı ve araştırmacılar için bazı öneriler sunulmaktadır.
