Division
32, Society for Humanistic Psychology, represents a
constellation of
"humanistic psychologies" that includes the earlier Rogerian,
transpersonal, and existential orientations as well as the more
recently developing perspectives of phenomenological, hermeneutic,
constructivist, feminist, and postmodern (social constructionist)
psychologies. The Division seeks to contribute to psychotherapy,
education, theory, research, epistemological diversity, cultural
diversity, organization, management, social responsibility, and change.
In particular, we have been at the forefront in the development of
qualitative research methodologies. Our longstanding interest in the
well-being of all persons, and in the importance of living life with
purpose and meaning, places humanistic psychology in kindred and even
foundational relationship with the more recent positive psychology
movement In expanding our self-conception we invite participation from
APA members, associates, and student affiliates who are open to the
challenge of broadening the frontiers of psychology for the 21st
Century.
