Humanistic psychology

Read the text and do the assignments that follow:

Humanistic psychology is a school of psychology that emerged in the 1950s in reaction to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis. It is explicitly concerned with the human dimension of psychology and the human context for the development of psychological theory. These matters are often summarized by the five postulates of Humanistic Psychology given by James Bugental (1964), mainly that:

  1. Human beings cannot be reduced to components.
  2. Human beings have in them a uniquely human context.
  3. Human consciousness includes an awareness of oneself in the context of other people.
  4. Human beings have choices and responsibilities.
  5. Human beings are intentional, they seek meaning, value and creativity.
