uring the last decades compared to the negative cognitions the positive cognitions get much less attention in academic research and in the field of cognitive-behavioral therapy. With the birth of applied positive psychology the positive emotions and strengths could get a more and more important role during the process of the therapy. It may be hypothesized that the positive effect of the optimism-increasing interventions, the quality of life therapy, well-being therapy and positive psychotherapy is due to the enhancement of the constructive mode functioning (Clark, Beck, 2010).
