Sumario:This historiographic research analyzes the reception of Positive Psychology in Argentina during 1998-2012. For this purpose, a bibliometric study of six scientific journals was carried out assessing all the publications that belong to the movement of Positive Psychology. From the methodological point of view, this paper is a historiographic study that can be considered an ex post facto research according to Montero and León classification (2007). The results of this bibliometric study show that in terms of the history of ideas, Argentina had the influence of the main stream in Positive Psychology driven by Martin Seligman. However, the reception and development of this movement in our country was clearly shaped and energized by the pioneering work of María Martina Casullo.
