The article reviews the definition of the word ‘psychotherapy’ which, depending on the theoretical approach adopted, can be defined in a variety of ways, and which consequently comes down to the notion of help and therapeutic effect. Irrespective of whether the psychotherapy takes on an individual or group character, it is a specialised method of helping people with different mental disorders, its main aim being the levelling out of the disorder in question, the introduction of an individual’s development-oriented changes and his or her attainment of health and mental well-being in the broadest sense. The author focuses on the advantages of both individual and group therapy, especially in the treatment of addictions. She additionally indicates the factors which have an influence on the effectiveness of psychotherapy, while stressing that the best effects are achieved through consolidating individual and group psychotherapy into one coherent therapy programme.

The intensity of stress in life is treated as the main factor differentiating mental wellbeing. The aim of the paper is to analyse opinions and behaviours concerning the choice of place and form of holiday trips in the context of stress reduction. The research was conducted in 2016 among 100 working adults. The method applied was the one of a diagnostic survey, with an authorial questionnaire. The results show that the desire of health improvement and a reduction of the negative influence of tension both have a significant influence on the choice of holiday destination. Over half of the respondents experience stress several times a week, or even every day. The main reason for nervous tension, pointed out by both men and women, is their work. The respondents confirmed experiencing numerous somatic symptoms of stress. The majority of the interlocutors perceive positive influence of a vacation on their mental condition.

The article presents the relationship between the grit factor and the mental well-being of young people recruited from high school students in Podlaskie Voivodeship (n = 275). The study was conducted using the Short Grit Scale (SGS) by A.L. Duckworth, the Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWBS) by C. Ryff and the Cantril’s Ladder of Life Scale. The obtained results indicate significant positive relationships of grit with the current assessment of the quality of life and mental well-being in each of the six dimensions measured with C. Ryff’s PWBS tool (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance). Since grit is a construct showing positive relationships with well-being and quality of life and a modifiable one – it can be shaped at an early stage of development – it should be considered as an important element when drawing future educational plans.
