The Humanistic Psychologist® is devoted to reflective inquiry into “humanistic psychologies,” broadly defined.
The journal publishes papers on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research; humanistic, existential, constructivist and transpersonal theories and psychotherapies; and articles grounded in phenomenological, hermeneutic, critical, feminist, and multicultural perspectives.
Submissions representing both traditional conceptions and contemporary critiques of humanistic psychology are welcomed.
In the context of the journal’s commitment to epistemological diversity, contributions representing indigenous psychologies, dialogue between humanistic and positive psychologies, as well as commentary, essays, book reviews, memorials, and brief reflections are also invited.
