    Extractions: LU-Announce I recently had the opportunity to interview Dr. W. R. Coulson concerning the role that humanistic psychology is playing in education. Dr. Coulson was a long-time associate of Carl Rogers, who is considered to be the father of non-directive therapy, a therapy which has now been incorporated into self-esteem, sex-ed, and drug-ed curricula. Dr. Coulson saw that this form of therapy had some success with mentally distressed people who knew they needed help, but following failures with locked-ward schizophrenics, normal adults, and a parochial school system in California, Dr. Coulson broke with Carl Rogers and is now trying to undo the damage of what might be called humanistic education. The results of non-directive therapy in education have been disappointing to anyone willing to look at the facts. We asked Dr. Coulson about these negative results. He said:

    Extractions: The Humanistic Approach Introduction to the Humanistic Approach Carl Rogers Abraham Maslow Existential Psychology ... Publications Related to the Humanistic Approach The Humanistic Approach began in response to concerns by therapists against perceived limitations of Psychodynamic theories, especially psychoanalysis. Individuals like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow felt existing (psychodynamic) theories failed to adequately address issues like the meaning of behavior, and the nature of healthy growth. However, the result was not simply new variations on psychodynamic theory, but rather a fundamentally new approach. There are several factors which distinguish the Humanistic Approach from other approaches within psychology, including the emphasis on subjective meaning, a rejection of determinism , and a concern for positive growth rather than pathology. While one might argue that some psychodynamic theories provide a vision of healthy growth (including Jung's concept of individuation ), the other characteristics distinguish the Humanistic Approach from every other approach within psychology (and sometimes lead theorists from other approaches to say the Humanistic Approach is not a science at all). Most psychologists believe that behavior can only be understood objectively (by an impartial observer), but the humanists argue that this results in concluding that an individual is incapable of understanding their own behaviora view which they see as both paradoxical and dangerous to well-being. Instead, humanists like Rogers argue that the meaning of behavior is essentially personal and subjective; they further argue that accepting this idea is not unscientific, because ultimately all individuals are subjective: what makes science reliable is not that scientists are purely objective, but that the nature of observed events can be agreed upon by different observers (a process Rogers calls

    Extractions: I. Theories and Theorists (The following people are not all pure types) Freud , Sigmund : This man is the founder of psychoanalysis, and believed religion to be "the universal obessional neurosis of humanity." He considered sexual impulses to be a primary source of motivation for man, and that mental activity is essentially unconscious; i.e., that the unconscious is a hidden reservoir of the mind which is filled with drives and impulses which govern a person's thinking and behavior. . Adler , Alfred: The first well-known dissenter from Freud's school of thought. Adler became the father of what he called "individual psychology." He shifted the motivational emphasis from biological instincts to social relationships. He believed man's primary motivation to be a "will to power." This is based upon his conception of the universal need of children to be dependent upon adults. Such dependency produces feelings of inadequacy and inferiority which each must strive to overcome. (Adler is also considered a humanist.) Jung , Carl : Here is another dissenter from Freud's school who de-emphasized the role of sex in personality development. Jung also disagreed on the importance of dealing with an individual's past. He submitted that attention must be given to man's religious, aesthetic, and other such needs. Thus, in Jung we see the seeds of modern day existentialism being planted. He is also noted for his work with the concepts of introversion/extroversion and archetypes.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: What is Humanistic Psychology? Humanistic psychology is a contemporary and integrative school of thought committed to affirming the inherent value and dignity of human beings. During the first half of the twentieth century, American psychology was dominated by The “First Force” of Behaviorism and the “Second Force” of Psychoanalysis. Neither fully acknowledged the possibility of studying values, intentions, and meaning as elements in conscious existence. By the late 1950’s a “Third Force” was beginning to form. In 1957 and 1958, at the invitation of Abraham Maslow and Clark Moustakas, two meetings were held in Detroit at what would eventually become the original campus for the Center for Humanistic Studies Graduate School (from 1981 to 2003). These psychologists were interested in founding a professional association dedicated to offering a fuller concept of what it means to be human. They discussed several themes— such as self, self-actualization, health, creativity, intrinsic nature, being, becoming, individuality, and meaning—which they believed likely to become central concerns of such an approach to psychology. In 1961, with the sponsorship of Brandeis University, this movement was formally founded as the American Association of Humanistic Psychology.

    Extractions: The Directory The first edition of this Directory was published in 1981. It was then sponsored by Division 32 (Humanistic Psychology) of the American Psychological Association (APA). The second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth editions have been co-sponsored by Division 32 and the Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP). Both organizations have received thousands of inquiries for information concerning degree-granting graduate programs oriented towards humanistic, existential, phenomenological, or transpersonal psychology. This directory reflects the effort of identifying such programs in the interest of offering to interested prospective students, faculty, or other individuals some factual and philosophical material they can use as a starting point for more specific inquiry. Those using the directory might be reminded that factual information - i.e., tuition, requirements, faculty figures - are soon outdated. Even philosophical positions can change with time. So it is wise to consider this directory as a rough guide - accurate at the date of printing - but one which leads to more specific follow-through for the latest information. Humanistic Graduate Programs and Philosophy Not everybody means the same thing by humanistic psychology (which was formerly characterized as Third Force psychology by Abraham Maslow). There is very little, if any, kinship between humanistic psychology and the secular humanism if by this latter is intended, justifiably or not, value-free or lacking in spiritual concern. While insisting on personal responsibility and the possibility of freedom beyond reductionism and determinism, humanistic psychologies have emerged specifically with the emphasis on values, meaning, and human potential which open up rather than foreclose on spiritual questions. There is an historical kinship between humanistic psychology and phenomenological and existential psychology and Eastern and transpersonal psychologies (the latter sometimes characterized as

    http://www.westga.edu/~psydept/os2/papers/serlin2.htm
    
    Extractions: Division 32 of the American Psychological Association In his presidential address, Martin E.P. Seligman (1999) laid out a vision for a "positive psychology" which promises expanded horizons for future psychological research and practices. It also echoes themes expressed by humanistic psychologists over the past three decades, initiated by the work of two other presidents of APA, Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, leading founders of Humanistic Psychology. The term "positive psychology" itself was first used in Maslow's ground-breaking book Motivation and Personality (1954) the last chapter of which, entitled "Toward a Positive Psychology," lays out a research agenda that has much in common with Seligman's proposal. This article will explore the common ground between positive and humanistic psychology, and respond to positive psychology's useful challenges to humanistic psychology (Seligman, 1999, personal communication) about research and a concern for social values, because the outcome of a dialogue between them can help the human condition: a goal that is central to both. This paper therefore begins with a brief review of the humanistic movement and its ongoing call for a more positive psychology. We then move into an exploration of the unique research approaches and areas of study dictated by the primacy in humanistic psychology of human experience. We conclude by showing how positive psychology can gain from recognizing the merit of experiential, process-oriented research methodologies and perhaps most importantly, by entering into a larger dialogue with humanistic psychologists for the serious investigation of such metapsychological issues as the nature of truth and ways of knowing, and the role of choice, values, and meaning in positive human and social evolution.
