From Peterson and Seligman’s Character Strengths and Virtues, 2004
The DSM-IV is a catalogue of all the mental disorders a person might have. But what about the other side of the coin – their mental strengths and virtues?
Positive Psychology pioneers Martin Seligman and Christopher Peterson spent three years researching this and produced a volume entitled Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification. It outlines twenty-four character strengths grouped into six broader categories.
