Schemel Forum Course (6-week) - Positive Psychology-A Scientific Primer on Happiness and Flourishing

Friday, 06 September, 2024

Psychology has been long preoccupied with human limitations and mental disorders. Positive psychology, by contrast, is the scientific study of how individuals thrive, and communities flourish. This seminar focuses on understanding, predicting, and improving subjective well-being. Students will participate in brief confidential assessments and research-supported experiential activities designed to enhance their strengths, virtues, and happiness. In other words, you will learn a lot of positive psychology and apply it to yourself and your community.


John C. Norcross, Ph.D., ABPP, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Psychology at The University of Scranton, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University, and a board-certified clinical psychologist.
Colleen M. Phillips, M.S., Lackawanna County Mental Health Court Coordinator and adjunct psychology faculty at The University of Scranton.

This class is capped at 18 students. Preference will be given to Archangel and Angel members first, then open for a la carte registrations on a first come, first served basis.
