Peter Forster’s Summary
I have worked in the field of psychology for over 30 years - teaching, researching and consulting. I put most of my effort into those branches that have the greatest potential for helping people live longer, healthier, happier lives. As far as I am aware, I designed and ran the first semester-long course in positive psychology in Europe, at Webster University in Leiden, The Netherlands.
I am also a scuba diving instructor with a deep love of the pacific region, particularly Hawai'i.
Peter Forster’s Specialties:
