| Summary |
The Handbook of Humanistic Psychology promises to be a landmark in the resurgent field of humanistic psychology and psychotherapy. Set against trends toward psychological standardization and medicalization, the handbook provides a rich tapestry of reflection by the leading person-centered scholars of our time. Their range of topics is far reaching-from the historical, theoretical, and methodological to the spiritual, psychotherapeutic, and multicultural. Psychology is poised for a renaissance, and this handbook will play a critical role in that transformation. As increasing numbers of students and professionals rebel against mechanizing, or on the other hand, relativizing trends, they are looking for the fuller, deeper, and more personal psychological orientation that this handbook promotes. |
