SAGE Open, 2014, vol. 4, issue 1, 2158244013518926

Abstract: Person-oriented conception of happiness (POCH) worked out by the author of the article is based on the ideas of systemic approach. The model also serves as valuable personality theory integrating essential elements of the conceptions of Z. Freud, C. Jung, A. Maslow, C. Rogers, and some other scientists. We show how to solve some problems of modern psychology within POCH, and outline perspectives of further investigations. For the first time in world psychology, such concepts as “Egoism†and “Personal Uniqueness†are represented as multilevel systems. Their productive interaction at the higher levels helps a person achieve full-fledged, happy life.
