GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is an introductory course on Humanistic Psychology. Humanistic Psychology provides us with a treatment model that is client-centered, emphasizes strengths rather than pathologies and is devoted to the discovery of meaning and purpose in work, relationships and life. Because of the underlying values embraced by Humanistic Psychology, it enables clients to live authentically and to attain their optimal selves. The course reviews the foundations and basic principles of Humanistic Psychology and its applications to special populations.

The course is comprised of four articles. The first article, "Humanistic Psychology," reviews basic definitions, history and issues in existential and humanistic psychologies. It traces the roots in Greek and European philosophy, and it follows the evolution into a psychotherapeutic practice in American psychology. The second article, "A Humanistic Perspective on Trauma," discusses the application of humanistic psychology to the study of trauma, and it shows how the emphasis on the basic human need to find meaning in the face of mortality provides a unique perspective on trauma psychology. The third article, "Humanistic Psychology and Women: A Critical-Historical Perspective," introduces the role of women in humanistic psychology and the relationship between feminist psychology, women's ways of knowing and humanistic psychology. Finally, "Positive Psychology and Humanistic Psychology" discusses the relationship between humanistic psychology and positive psychology. While positive psychology has its roots in humanistic principles of personal growth, resiliency, responsibility and a non-pathological model of human development, humanistic psychology also includes dimensions of depth, tragedy and the body.
