Association for Humanistic Psychology

The Association for Humanistic Psychology is a professional organization dedicated to promoting a branch of psychology that focuses on helping individuals achieve their full potential and personal growth. Unlike traditional approaches that may emphasize pathology or illness, humanistic psychology emphasizes understanding people as whole persons, emphasizing self-awareness, creativity, and personal values. The association supports research, education, and practice in this field, advocating for a more positive and human-centered approach to mental health and well-being. Its goal is to foster environments where individuals can thrive and live authentic, meaningful lives.
