Basic proposition
Positive psychology advocates that psychology should do a lot of research on how ordinary people can develop and live better under good conditions and how talented people can give full play to their potential. It is believed that the three major missions of psychology: treating mental illness, enriching people's lives, and discovering and cultivating talents were equally valued by researchers before World War II [1]. After World War II, psychology has become a science devoted to treatment. Its research focuses on the evaluation and cure of individual mental illness, and there are also a lot of studies on the negative effects of psychological barriers and environmental pressures such as divorce, death and others. Seligman noted that about 95% of the studies on human emotions are about negative emotions such as depression, anxiety and prejudice. While great progress has been made in the understanding and treatment of mental illness, psychology has forgotten its other two missions and gradually become a victim science.

The Significance of Positive Psychology to Mental Health Education
Abstract: Positive psychology is a new research force in psychology and a reaction to the negative and pessimistic level and orientation of traditional mainstream psychology. The appearance of positive psychology, like a spring breeze overnight, brings vitality to the dull mental health education: positive psychology integrates the goals of mental health education, deepens the connotation of mental health education, improves the relationship between subject and object, enriches the contents of mental health education and expands the ways and methods of mental health education.
Although positive psychology is young but full of vitality, where will the future go? We respond with the theory of Ryff (2003), that is, positive psychology must properly draw a blueprint that can make human beings play their best functions. Its future tasks are: to understand the factors that can enhance strength, draw the general outline of the elastic interval, determine the role of positive experience, and explain the role of positive relationship with others. Positive psychology needs to understand the influence of all these factors on mental health. The happiness of individuals, the function of groups and the prosperity of institutions. Finally, positive psychology should use effective intervention to improve and strengthen these functions. The recent trend of positive psychology is to fully understand the human situation, clearly understand human strengths and weaknesses, and explain the relationship between them. Based on the theory of balance, experience and rich human experience, positive psychology will surely accomplish its mission in this field.
Reflections on the mode of school mental health education and positive psychological orientation
[Abstract] Reflecting on the negative impact of morbid psychological orientation on school mental health education model weakens the role of school mental health education, leading to the lack of mental health education content, monotonous education form and one-way education approach, forming the opposition between educational objects and educators. Use positive psychology to guide the value orientation of school mental health education, integrate the objectives of school mental health education, expand the content of school mental health education, improve the relationship between subject and object of school mental health education, tap educational resources and improve the efficiency of school mental health education.
In recent years, the mode of school mental health education is basically a three-level education mode based on mental health education courses, school psychological consultation and counseling, and diagnosis and treatment of mental diseases. The reason why mental health education occupies a place in school education is because people know the harm of mental illness. Parents and school educators pay attention to mentally unhealthy individuals and focus their attention on psychological problems. Therefore, whether it is a mental health education class or a school's psychological consultation and counseling, it is aimed at people who already exist or are prone to psychological problems and individuals with psychological problems. This leads to the deviation of school mental health education from the general objectives and basic principles, whether it is the content, form and method of education, or the object and implementer of education, which makes school mental health education always superficial, difficult to deepen and expand, and its effectiveness and development are limited to a certain extent. The crux of the problem lies in that the value orientation of school mental health education deviates from the positive psychological orientation of mental health and falls into the morbid psychological orientation of mental disease prevention and treatment.
First, the negative impact of morbid psychological orientation on school mental health education
(1) The morbid psychological orientation leads to the deviation of the three-level education goal of school mental health education.
Mental health education in schools usually has three goals. The first goal is to focus on preventive education, face all students, and pay attention to the development of potential and the cultivation of psychological quality. The secondary goal is to solve psychological problems, provide counseling and consultation for common psychological problems, and eliminate students' psychological obstacles; The third-level goal is to treat psychological diseases, and to make psychological diagnosis and treatment for individuals with psychological disorders and diseases. School mental health education tends to be problem-oriented in the specific implementation process.
First of all, the education mode of the first-level goal is positioned on the prevention of psychological problems. At present, the contents of mental health education courses offered by schools mainly focus on psychological problems, guiding students how to deal with psychological problems in life, study, making friends and entertainment. The learning mode is to show psychological problems first, then illustrate how to overcome them with examples, and put forward effective ways to overcome them, and then let students discuss them in connection with their own reality. This kind of educational model locates the learning goal in problem orientation, which deviates from the goal of focusing on potential development and psychological quality training. Make mental health education focus on dealing with psychological problems, make people understand that the connotation of mental health education is composed of a series of psychological problems, and mistakenly regard psychology as psychology ... >; & gt
