Synopsis

The 2-volume APA Handbook of Humanistic and Existential Psychology provides a comprehensive overview of the rich history, diverse theoretical perspectives, clinical and social applications, and important emerging issues and directions in the field.

The 61 chapters in this Handbook comprise a broad spectrum of coverage from the earliest foundations of humanistic and existential psychology to exciting future developments, including in-depth discussion of:

• important theorists upon whose work the field was built and developed;
• aspects of human nature and existence, including creativity, freedom, social connectedness, authenticity, meaning making, and self-actualization;
• the relationship of humanistic and existential psychology to other approaches, such as positive psychology, community psychology, and liberation psychology; and
• multiculturalism, diversity, and social justice in relation to practice, research, and theoretical development within humanistic and existential psychology

This Handbook is both a map of the current landscape of humanistic and existential psychology and a guide to where the field is headed. Researchers, practitioners, and students in psychology and related fields will learn how to incorporate a broad array of theoretical approaches; use quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methodologies; and apply the principles of humanistic and existential psychology to their practice, scholarship, and social advocacy.
