      abstract = {This volume provides theoretical perspectives on and  approaches to the development or enhancement of positive  psychological capacities within various multi-cultural  professional and organizational contexts. Specifically, it  presents theoretical frameworks for the identification,  development and optimization of positive psychological  capacities through a contemporary, multi-cultural and  multi-disciplinary lens. In recent years, the applicability  of positive psychological intervention (PPI) techniques has  transposed the boundaries of clinical practice into a wide  array of complementary domains such as law, education,  business and even design sciences such as architecture.  These interventions target the enhancement of positive  psychological capacities (e.g. strength-identification and  use; high-performance learning; appreciative design;  job-crafting) in order to not only improve individual  functioning, well-being and the treatment of various forms  of psychopathology but also to enhance team  functioning/performance, organizational growth and  community development. Despite its importance, very little  research has been done on the design of PPIs applicable to  multi-cultural contexts. The contributions to this volume  provide insights into this hitherto neglected area of  research.},
