There is an increasing prevalence and use of technology that extends into the support of mental health and wellbeing. How Digital Technologies can Support Positive Psychology focuses on how digital technologies can support mental health and wellbeing in the field of positive psychology.

Introducing a number of digital innovations – such as artificial intelligence (AI), gamified solutions, wearable technologies, social media, and the use of remote data collection and analysis – Barnes and Prescott explore how these can support areas of positive psychology such as wellbeing, flow, resilience, relationships and improving quality of life.

An instrumental volume linking the two areas of digital technologies and positive psychology, How Digital Technologies can Support Positive Psychology examines how specific applications of digital technologies may be effective in supporting specific aspects of positive psychology to boost mood and attain and maintain positive outcomes.

Building on our prior ISA-based Palgrave pivot, the aims of the book are twofold. One, to showcase a newly developed App as a tool in the use of Identity Structure Analysis (ISA) for researchers interested in identity. Second, the book will focus on the use, of a counselling supervision ISA instrument in order to highlight the benefits of ISA for professional development (PD) for any profession. The idea is that any researcher interested in professional and or personal development would be able to use the proposed book to aid them in either a supervision style process of development or the more standard one-to-one annual/biannual approach to PD. Through using ISA in PD, the book and its attendant analyses will encourage discussion, facilitate openness, and highlight potential issues that may lead to burnout, mental health issues, leaving a profession or additional risks. That is, the book will be oriented to informing researchers as to the potential ISA, the App, and the supervision instrument hold for directing PD.
