PSYB 350 - Humanistic Psychology

Institution:

Naropa University

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of the basic principles of humanistic and existential psychology and psychotherapy. This is the so-called "third force" in the modern Western tradition of psychology, which emerged after 1940 both as an expansion and an alternative to the psychoanalytic and behavioral schools that preceded it. It emphasizes the authenticity of the therapist as the key factor in promoting the client's potential for growth and healing. We focus on the work of Adler, Rogers and Maslow among the humanists, and the work of Yalom, May, Frankl, Perls and Bugental among the existentialists. Prerequisite: PSYB 101 or permission of instructor. Open to Contemplative Psychology and Interdisciplinary Studies students only
