Humanistic Pyschology

Humanistic psychology is a school of psychology that emerged in the 1950s in reaction to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis. It is explicitly concerned with the human dimension of psychology and the human context for the development of psychological theory.

In the late 1950s, psychologists concerned with advancing a more holistic vision of psychology convened meetings in Detroit, US. These psychologists, including Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers and Clark Moustakas were interested in founding a professional association dedicated to a psychology that focused on uniquely human issues, and meaning – in short, the understanding of the personal nature of the human experience.These preliminary meetings eventually led to other developments, which culminated in the description of humanistic psychology as a recognizable third force in psychology along with behaviorism and psychoanalysis. Significant developments included the formation of the Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP) in 1961 and the launch of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology (originally "The Phoenix") in 1963. In 1971, humanistic psychology as a field was recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA).

Humanistic psychology involves an emphasis on the actual experience of persons and includes several approaches to counselling and therapy. Among the earliest approaches we find the developmental theory of Abraham Maslow, emphasizing a hierarchy of needs and motivations; the existential psychology of Rollo May acknowledging human choice and the tragic aspects of human existence; and the person centred therapy of Carl Rogers, which is centered on the clients' capacity for self-direction and understanding of their own development.
