It was initiated by Chris Peterson in the picture, professor of University of Michigan and Martin Seligman.
它最先是由圖中的克里斯·彼得森——密歇根大學(xué)教授以及馬丁·塞利格曼共同提出的
And what they wanted to identify was positive psychology is alternative to the DSM- the DSM, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, which is essentially the classification of all known mental disorders.
他們想說(shuō)明的是積極心理學(xué)可以代替DSM,DSM就是《精神疾病診斷與統(tǒng)計(jì)手冊(cè)》,其中包括已知所有心理疾病的分類(lèi)
It's a very thick book, a very important document where it says- for example, it lists certain criteria and it says if a person has seven of the ten of these criteria for x period of time, that person has major depression.
這是本非常厚的書(shū),非常重要的文件,上面講了,比如說(shuō),它列出了特定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),然后說(shuō)如果一個(gè)人在某一段時(shí)間內(nèi)符合這十條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的七條,那他就有重性抑郁癥

If the person has three of four criteria for y period of time, that person has schizophrenia. Or dysthymia. Or seasonal affective disorder. Or all of the psychopathologies that are known to us, that have been defined and classified.
如果某人在另一段時(shí)間內(nèi)符合四條標(biāo)準(zhǔn)中的三條,他就有精神分裂癥或抑郁癥,或季節(jié)性心理疾病,或者我們已知的定義并分類(lèi)好的精神疾病
A very important document.
非常重要的文件
Come along Seligman and Peterson right at the beginning when positive psychology came onto the scene and say, "let's create an alternative. Let's create an alternative to the DSM that will identify instead of weaknesses, DSM instead of pathologies, instead of deficiencies, it will identify individual strengths and virtues."
而Seligman和Peterson在積極心理學(xué)問(wèn)世之初就說(shuō)“讓我們來(lái)造一個(gè)替代品,讓我們替代掉,不再鑒別弱點(diǎn)、疾病、或者缺陷,相反來(lái)鑒別人的力量和長(zhǎng)處”
And they identified 24 character strengths, all enlisted, explained, described in this book.
然后他們定義了24種人格力量,全部囊括在此書(shū)中,并進(jìn)行了解釋和描述
