Thank you for posting this article! Paul C. Vitzis is far more optimistic, than I admittedly, however, I am most heartened to see the Freudian-based therapies (everyone's a victim) being put into proper context, and into the model of 'positive psychology'. Where I am guarded, however, is in re the "newer" institutions. History has shown how such good intentions can and do get subverted.

Where I am appeased, however, is to read that psychology as a study itself, is being reclassified and look forward to seeing this appearing more broadly at the universities.

Most say the problems at our colleges began in the English Departments (socialism, etc); but I beg to differ -- it began in the psychology courses which spread throughout humanities and such reqs as "English/Literature". Psychology, tru enough, can have some scientific basis, as long as those lines are clearly delineated; however, to categorize psych into the philosophies/humanities needs to be more rigourously pronounced, IMHO.

"Psychology itself is being reclassified...at the university level."What about psychologist's currently in practice and in academia that have based their careers and reputations on "negative psychology"?I'd think "virtues" based psychology would be a tuff sell.
