Positive psychology made practical: a case study with naval specialists.
The literature on psychological resilience provides significant theoretical developments to understand and enhance the health and well-being of individuals. This article presents a case study of the implementation of an interview model, using concepts from resilience literature, to deal with the annual mental health screening of a group of naval specialists. The model is based in a salutogenic approach and aims to recognize the depth of experience of the human existence and to enhance physical and mental health, as well as general coping, to promote the well-being of individuals.
