22. Individual, Existential, And Humanistic Psychology existential psychology, like Freudian psychoanalysis, is a school of thought, a Although there is no clear founder for existential psychology, http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/genpsyhumanists.html

Individual, Existential, and Humanistic Psychology Dr. C. George Boeree Although we usually consider Freud the founder of personality psychology, there would be many others to come. First, there would be those who basically followed in his footsteps, like his daugher Anna Freud and her student Erik Erikson, and others who would develop theories not unlike Freud's, such as Carl Jung. Second, there were the Behaviorists like Pavlov and Skinner, who took the point of view that personality was nothing more than the sum total of all our habits. And third, there were many psychologists who fit in neither the Freudian nor the Behaviorist camps, but developed theories that emphasized things like consciousness, free will, social concern, and creativity. In this chapter, we will look at three of those psychologists and their theories: Alfred Adler's Individual Psychology, Existential Psychology as represented by Ludwig Binswanger, and Humanistic Psychology, as represented by Carl Rogers. Alfred Adler Freud had a hard time getting along with his more independent minded colleagues, several of whom left his circle. Over time, these colleagues developed their own theories and therapies, had their own circles and students, and went on to contribute to the field. One of the most influential was Alfred Adler.

23. Towards A Buddhist Psychotherapy In existential psychology, we speak of ontological anxiety (dread, angst). existential psychology has some similar concepts here, as well. http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/buddhapsych.html

Towards a Buddhist Psychotherapy C. George Boeree, Ph.D. Shippensburg University What follows is my effort at showing the relevance of Buddhism to western psychotherapy, especially existential therapy. Although it may not sit well with purists, I hope that this article captures the spirit of the Buddha's message. The Four Noble Truths sound like the basics of any theory with therapeutic roots: 1. Life is suffering . Life is at very least full of suffering, and it can easily be argued that suffering is an inevitable aspect of life. If I have senses, I can feel pain; if I have feelings, I can feel distress; if I have a capacity for love, I will have the capacity for grief. Such is life. Duhkha , the Sanskrit word for suffering, is also translated as stress, anguish, and imperfection. Buddha wanted us to understand suffering as a foundation for improvement. One key to understanding suffering is understanding anitya , which means that all things, including living things, our loved ones, and ourselves, are impermanent. Another key concept is anatman , which means that all things even we have no "soul" or eternal substance. With no substance, nothing stands alone, and no one has a separate existence. We are all interconnected, not just with our human world, but with the universe.

Individual Differences Personality Existential Perspectives on Personality Last updated: 14 Oct 2003 Existentialism: An Introduction Key Elements Ludwig Biswanger Rollo May ... Conclusions Existentialism: An Introduction Existentialism is a philosophical perspective which was also expressed in art, literature and other forms of socio-psychological comment. Existentialism was at its height during the 1930'-1950's in Europe. Key figures included Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, also Friedrich Nietzche and Soren Kierkegaard who were earlier philosophers. Existentialism understands the human to be challenged by the reality of temporary existence, and the view that life has no inherent meaning; meaning had to be constructed. Authentic human beings were those who could face existential futility and yet still go on to construct a meaningful life. The existential perspective could be understood thus: All existence ends in death Therefore, what is the point?

Existential Psychology in Context Rollo May Created by Paul R. Minnillo University of Georgia paul_813@hotmail.com The Existential Theories of Rollo May Existentialism is concerning with the meaning of human life. Rollo May introduced European existential thought into American psychology. Humanism and Existentialism are similar, but one difference is noted in the text: Humanists see people as basically good; existentialists see human nature as neutral. Whether the person becomes good or evil is a matter of personal choice. One can decide to good or evil. Others would call this an existential crisis: what is the meaning of my life? He returned from Europe and enrolled in Union Theological Seminary to study the basic questions related to the human experience. There he met the eminent Paul Tillich, Protestant theologian and existential philosopher. In his second book, The Springs of Creative Living: A Study of Human Nature and God (1940), he defined healthy religion: The healthy religious person has found meaning in life, and the atheist is one who has not. His doctoral dissertation, published as

OUR EXISTENTIAL PREDICAMENT: This seminar for advanced sufferers will explore whatever dimensions of our Existential Predicament or Malaise the participants choose: existential loneliness, depression, absurdity, meaninglessness, void, anxiety, splitting, guilt, death, despair, or insecurity. The text of the same name costs $40, less if the class decides to read and discuss only some of the chapters. OUR EXISTENTIAL PREDICAMENT: This seminar will explore the deepest existential or spiritual suffering that comes with being a human person. Only a few people are aware of this level of suffering because we are usually preoccupied with the practical problems of living. The philosophical background of this study includes the works of Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) It is a seminar in existential psychology or existential phenomenology. But the deepest exploration will not take place in the library but in our own inwardness-in our human spirits. The text for this seminar emerged from several years of just such discussions among sensitive, inward persons

35. Common Misperceptions Of Existential Therapy 2) existential psychology is the same things as Existential Philosophy 6) existential psychology is primarily a cognitive, intellectual approach http://www.existential-therapy.com/Misconceptions.htm

Common Misperceptions of Existential Therapy Home Center for Existential Depth Psychology Information References Links ... Contact Us As with all theories of psychotherapy, there are many misperceptions about existential psychotherapy. This, in part, is due to the fact that many attempts to present overviews of the different theories are presented by single individuals from within their frame of reference. This often occurs in classes or books which try to give an overview of the different theoretical orientations. A second factor influencing the misperceptions about existential psychotherapy is the first misperception: 1) There is a singular, united existential theory. While it would be much easier if this were true, it is not. One of the reasons why there are so many misperceptions about existential theory is precisely because so many people have attempted to describe existential theory in this oversimplified manner. There are some consistent themes, but few places of complete agreement. While this may appear to be a weakness of the theory, I would argue that it is both a strength and a benefit. The internal tensions have provided motivation for continual re-examination of the most basic assumptions. Furthermore, it allows existential theory to be widely adaptable to therapists and consumers with very different values. Probably the most basic unifying theme, as discussed the

37. R. D. Laing - Existential Psychology The existential approach is the endeavor to understand the nature of this Laing felt that the problem for psychology was that experience was not fully http://www.candleinthedark.com/laing.html

R. D. Laing School :Existentialist - with psychoanalytic background. Phenomenological philosophy - avoiding nomothetic abstract theories, this viewpoint towards humanity seeks to understand each person empathetically in terms of how a person sees both himself and the world. Source Used for this entry : Beneath the Mask - Chris Monte, as well as his own books The Politics of Experience and “Knots” Greatest Achievement : Adding a sense of whimsy to psychology and thereby illustrating the foolishness of believing we have a firm grasp on the confusing and layered workings of the human psyche. He also expounded on the psychologist's need to experience the client's worldview from his or her perspective. Vitalist/Mechanist : Vitalist, Idiographic outlook on personality. Unique individualism. Keywords : Intrauterine influence, Meta-Meta-perspectives, Knotted Communication, Meta-identity Key Influences : Rousseau, Fromm, Sigmund Freud, Binswagner, Boss, Heidegger, Jaspers Significant Works Knots Politics of Experience Politics of the Family Assessment : Laing is willing to leap into the confusing world of the schizophrenic, to try and understand the functional meaning of their lives. He also attempts to grasp the layered meanings of perspectives and meta-perspectives in dyadic relationships, such as marriages. This willingness to tackle the truly complex interactive psyche of both the normal and the schizophrenic, represents an evolution over the previous "one-trick pony" theories on the human psyche that do not take interaction into account. While Laing was wholly incorrect that schizophrenia was not a biological disease, his theories on duplicitous interactions causing mental anguish still have value. Coupling this with his whimsical view on human existence, I find Laing's views and my own views jibe closely.

38. The Handbook Of Experimental Existential Psychology However, there is more to experimental existential psychology than only TMT, and it is of credit to the editors and to the value to the book that they do http://faculty.washington.edu/nelgee/newsletter/2005/0600/d_liechty-greenberg_br

Newsletter Home June 2005 Newsletter The Handbook of Experimental Existential Psychology Edited by Jeff Greenberg , Sander Koole, and Tom Pyszczynski (Guilford Press, 2004) Reviewed by Daniel Liechty This collection is a treasure trove of material concerning Terror Management Theory and its relation to other work being done in social and personality psychology. This is groundbreaking work, because according to established academic habits, there is some distance between the subject material of social and personality psychology and that of the existential psychologists. Social and personality psychologists are generally thought of as white-coat research sorts of people, trying to track down the most basic elements of human behavior. The existentialists, on the other hand, are stereotypically thought of as out in the clouds somewhere, experientially pursuing the connecting points between human psychology and religion, philosophy and very broad and untestable theses pertaining to the meaning of life. Traditionally, there has been no little bit of disdain, if not outright animosity, between these far-flung branches of the psychological tree. This collection demonstrates that the branches may be closer than we thought. When approached in the right way, blurry questions of meaning in life, death, freedom, identity and the nature of existence can be brought under the scrutiny of open-minded but serious and rigorous experimental researchers, and the chapters of this handbook prove that point beyond reasonable doubt. In short, this handbook establishes the beginning point of what may well become a new discipline itself.

Lesson 14.3 Register Here University of Idaho Psychology Dept. University of Idaho Design - CTI Back Next Existential Psychology Introduction: Both the humanistic and the existential psychologists focused on your freedom to choose your path in life. However, whereas the humanists believed that “being that self that you truly are” (as Carl Rogers put it) was a happy experience, the existentialists believed an authentic existence also yielded anguish, forlornness, and despair. Consequently, many people choose inauthenticity—simply thinking and doing what others think and do. In this lesson we will learn that for existentialists, the courageous choice is to act in responsible, self-directed ways even while remaining aware of your powerlessness and mortality. While the book cites some interesting research studies that relate to the concerns of the humanistic and existential psychologists, it must be admitted that many of the important ideas in this chapter—having a self-actualizing life, having rich phenomenological experiences, having free will—are not amenable to empirical assessment and validation. In fact, many psychologists of a phenomenological orientation would proudly agree with this, insisting that whereas objects can be studied through traditional “objective” research methods, human subjects cannot.
