The pursuit of euthymia
Overview
This paper defines euthymia as a transdiagnostic construct involving positive affect, psychological well-being, flexibility, consistency, and resilience. It argues that assessing and pursuing euthymia should be integrated into individualized therapeutic plans rather than treated as an intervention for specific disorders. The resource notes that techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy have been developed to enhance these qualities.
