An examination of four decades of research and practice in
humanistic psychology, this work highlights the lasting
contributions of humanistic psychology to the science of psychology
and to the pursuit of personal and spiritual development. It
explores the passions and goals of the founders and their vital
legacy for the 21st century.
Humanistic Psychology began as a movement of creative
individuals who sought to remake psychology in the image of a fully
alive and aware human being. Humanistic psychology emphasizes
liberation from personal and social oppression and the pursuit of
higher levels of human potential. Humanistic psychologists
criticize scientific psychology for their emphasis on the
measurement, prediction, and control of behavior, and protest the
exclusion of such basic aspects of humanness as consciousness,
values, freedom, love, and spirit from psychological investigation.
This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate
students and faculty in psychology as well as professionals in the
field.
