dc.description	Historicamente, a Psicologia preocupou-se em investigar patologias, negligenciado os aspectos saudáveis dos seres humanos. Mas, a partir de 1998, assumindo a presidência da American Psychological Association, Seligman iniciou movimento denominado Psicologia Positiva, que visa oferecer nova abordagem às potencialidades e virtudes humanas, estudando as condições e processos que contribuem para a prosperidade dos indivíduos e comunidades. Este artigo apresenta e discute essa nova proposta científica, que promete melhorar a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos e prevenir patologias; também as lacunas existentes nas investigações em Ciências Humanas, as contribuições teóricas e empíricas e as possíveis aplicações desse conhecimento.<br>Históricamente, la Psicología se preocupó por investigar patologías, descuidándose de los aspectos saludables de los seres humanos.

In 1998, when Seligman assumed the head of American Psychological Association, he started the Positive Psychology movement, which objective is to offer a new approach to human strengthens and virtues, by studying the conditions and processes that contribute to the prosperity of individuals and communities. The present paper presents and discusses this new scientific approach that intends to promote the quality of life at individual and community levels, preventing pathologies. We also point out its gaps in Human Sciences-directed investigations, as well as its theoretical and empirical contributions and applications.
