AB - The purpose of this study is to offer a criticism of positive psychotherapy(PPT) which based on positive psychology from the Christian perspective, and to explore the possibility of its application by Christian counselors. Several previous studies have already examined positive psychology, which has been studied and applied in the secular psychological field, from the Christian viewpoint. However, critical exploration of PPT, which has been designed to apply main concepts of positive psychology to the concrete counseling and therapy settings, still needs to be performed. This study was initiated out of the need of clear guidelines as well as Christian viewpoint and standard in the application of PPT into Christian counseling setting. To achieve these purposes, in this paper, I briefly introduced basic concepts and techniques of PPT and positive psychology on which PPT has been built, then explored the possibility of its integration with Christian counseling, and finally indicated factors that Christian counselors need to critically consider from the Christian perspective in their application of PPT in the Christian counseling sessions. In conclusion, I suggested that Christian counselors employ PPT only selectively to the extent that it is compatible with Christian worldview, and ensure that God be always the center.
