Cover Story: Well-being is increasingly recognized as a core target in recovery from severe psychiatric conditions. Positive psychological interventions (PPIs) such as gratitude exercises, savoring, and strength-based practices have shown efficacy, yet individuals do not benefit equally. This study examined demographic and clinical factors as predictors and moderators of response to a multicomponent PPI added to treatment as usual. Older patients, those attending more therapeutic sessions, and individuals with lower somatization, hostility, or life satisfaction levels responded particularly well. These findings suggest that individual characteristics shape PPI outcomes, supporting more personalized psychological care. Tailoring interventions may optimize impact while advancing understanding of therapeutic change. View this paper
