Abstract

Traditionally, pathogenic models of mental health assumed that positive mental health and mental disorders are polarized on a continuum. However, the most recent view of positive psychology has demonstrated that positive mental health and mental disorders are two separate factors in a general population. If this two factor model of mental health is also appropriate to psychiatric patients and clients in counseling, this assertion will be consolidated against the pathogenic model. Confirmatory factor analysis of 112 patients and 108 clients revealed the correlated two-factor model of mental health had the higher goodness of fit than the one-factor model or the independent two factor model. As a result, the two-factor model of mental health was validated in a clinical population. Finally, the importance of positive mental health intervention for a clinical population, as well as a general population, was discussed.
