AB - Traditional psychology, focusing on negative and pathologic parts of each individual, believed that curing and changing those symptoms could solve the problems and increase the feeling of happiness. However, positive psychology, recently on the rise, is an approach which tries to increase the optimal feeling of happiness and improve the quality of life by developing and enhancing the positive aspects of each individual. Positive psychology is also known as psychology of happiness. The psychology of happiness has many points to be criticized from the perspective of christianity because it is a humanistic approach based on the development of human potential and possibilities. The true biblical happiness means to have a right relationship with God and enjoy the 'blessing' from God. The biblical blessing is not easy to understand, sounds paradoxical, and sometimes goes with trial and pain because it has different meaning and level from the happiness in psychology. Happiness theory of positive psychology is thought in the level of aims, contents, methods, and results of Christian life. Christians will experience the true biblical happiness when they make efforts to enjoy the 'blessing' from the perspective of the Bible in the true relationship with God. And Christian Counselors must to analysis the critical points about positive psychology and to study the possibilities of acceptance and integration in the perspective of Christian worldview.
