Advancing Humanistic Psychology and Psychotherapy: Some Challenges and Proposed Solutions

Abstract

The intent of this article is to advance humanistic psychology in academia, practice, and the general public. Despite its enormous contributions and advances, there are a number of issues, problems, and challenges faced by humanistic psychology. Primary among these are humanistic psychology's minimal representation in American universities, declining membership in humanistic organizations, a lack of a coherent and shared vision, a plan for future development, and strategies to enhance our growth and impact. Concrete proposals are offered to address the challenges facing humanistic psychology. A call to action is issued to those concerned about our future.
