- Abstract
The article focuses on positive psychology and its role in reclaiming the youth. It notes that positive psychology was intended as a careful correction to problems focused by psychology and social sciences for decades. It also offers a historical context of positive psychology in which it was focused with the remediation and occasional prevention of psychological problems in the U.S. after the World War II. Moreover, it emphasizes that positive psychology reframes the social perception on children and youth.
