NEW BLOG
FOR SOCIETY FOR HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY: 
Link to Blog

At the 2009 Mid-Winter Meeting, the Publication Committee for the Society recommended that Division 32 develop and maintain a regularly updated blog to keep members and interested parties updated on current events in the field. We welcome you to visit and comment on the blog posts.. See here ...

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.
