This assignment will allow you to explore the homepage for the association for humanistic psychology
www.ahpweb.org/aboutahp/whatis.html
This will allow you to explore the three forces in psychology, that is, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism.
Then you can review three major sections of the webpage and they are as follows:
(1) compare/contrast the various views of humanistic psychology
What are the major differences in these views?
(2) review the methods of inquiry in humanistic psychology
Are there major differences with those used in “normal” experimental psychology research?
(3) humanistic psychotherapy/do these techniques differ from the other methods of psychotherapy that you have studied
As we study secular humanism (Rogers & Maslow) and the contemporary view of May we quickly learn that courage is the defining element in their application of humanism to human behavior. According to May, each individual must be courageous in how one interacts with one’s environment. Obviously, that is open to a great deal of individual interpretation and that is part of our assignment, that is, how do you interpret the notion of courage as it applies to humanistic psychology?
With this background into humanism, describe how the concept of courage identifies one as a humanist.
Is the ultimate analysis found in the statement that like beauty, courage is in the eye of the beholder?
You may add any comments about this feature of humanism as well as the website describing the humanistic approach to the understanding of personality.
