Abstract

 

The concept of happiness in counseling and psychotherapy is often entangled in clinical reductionism, where it is merely defined as the absence of mental illness. This article aims to dissect the application of the happiness concept in therapeutic practices through the lens of the philosophy of science, encompassing ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. Utilizing a descriptive-philosophical analysis method, this study finds that the application of happiness marks a paradigm shift from a pathological-curative model toward a salutogenic-positive model. Ontologically, happiness transforms from mere hedonic pleasure into eudaimonic actualization. Epistemologically, happiness is operationalized through both measurable positivistic approaches and subjective-existential phenomenological approaches. Axiologically, the application of this happiness concept provides pragmatic value in the form of enhanced resilience and relapse prevention. This article concludes that integrating happiness as the primary orientation of therapy is capable of enhancing optimal and holistic human functioning. Furthermore, the integration of contemporary psychology with Islamic perspectives fosters a deeper form of counseling and psychotherapy—one that achieves not only psychological happiness but also touches upon the profound innermost dimensions of the soul.

Abstrak


Konsep kebahagiaan (happiness) dalam konseling dan psikoterapi sering kali terjebak dalam reduksionisme klinis, di mana kebahagiaan hanya diartikan sebagai tiadanya gejala gangguan mental (absence of illness). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membedah terapan konsep kebahagiaan dalam praktik terapeutik melalui kaca mata filsafat ilmu, yang mencakup dimensi ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi. Melalui metode analisis deskriptif - filosofis, artikel ini menemukan bahwa terapan kebahagiaan menandai pergeseran paradigma (paradigm shift) dari model patologis - kuratif menuju model salutogenik - positif. Secara ontologis, kebahagiaan bertransformasi dari sekadar kepuasan hedonik menjadi aktualisasi eudaimonik. Secara epistemologis, kebahagiaan dioperasionalisasikan melalui pendekatan positivistik yang terukur maupun pendekatan fenomenologis yang subjektif - eksistensial. Secara aksiologis, terapan konsep kebahagiaan ini memberikan nilai pragmatis berupa peningkatan resiliensi dan pencegahan kekambuhan (relapse prevention). Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi kebahagiaan sebagai orientasi utama terapi mampu meningkatkan fungsi optimal manusia secara utuh. Bahkan integrasi Psikologi Kontemporer dengan Islam melahirkan bentukan konseling dan Psikoterapi yang lebih mendalam, bukan hanya bahagia secara psikologis, tetapi menyentuh sisi – sisi batiniah.
