Dr. Philip Streit is the chairman of the Institute and the Academy for Children, Youth and Family, Member of the IPPA Board of Directors and coordinator of Se-ligman Europe. He is a psychologist and psychotherapist.

It is well known that positive-psychological interventions are effective; they are indispensable in coaching, educa-tion, therapy, organization development, management and supervision. Therefore, the main question of the Hamburg symposium concerns the mechanisms of ac-tion. Prof. Dr. Willibald Ruch from the University of Zürich begins with the latest � ndings in the use of strengths. Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Funke from Hamburg will talk about the use of Positive Psychology in psychiatries. Dr. Ernst Fritz-Schubert and Prof. Dr. Olaf-Axel Burow pres-ent their concept on Positive Education. In the afternoon, the president-elect of the International Positive Psychol-ogy Association (IPPA) Barbara L. Fredrickson, Ph.D. introduces her research project “The Upward Spiral of Positivity” in which she fascinatingly shows how positiv-ity and positive emotions in� uence our wellbeing. One of the highlights will be Prof. Dr. Gerald Hüther’s talk about “Positive Psychology and the Development of Potential” on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, Prof. Dr. Tobias Esch will tell us how it lies in our own hands to program happiness in our brains in “New Findings on the Neurobiology of Wellbe-ing”. Afterwards, Dr. Philip Streit is going to present his thoughts on Positive Psychology from a systemic point of view. The effects of Positive Psychology on so-called professionals with the background of � ourishing instead of burning out will be the topic in Daniela Blickhan’s pre-sentation. Dr. med Gunther Schmidt, the head of the Milton-Erickson-Institute in Heidelberg, will draw a con-nection between hypnotherapy and Positive Psychology. The � nale of the symposium will be Prof. Dr. Martin Selig-man’s discourse “The Cutting Edge of Positive Psychol-ogy” where he will explain why he revises his theory on learned helplessness and present the consequences of Positive Psychology.
