Humanistic Psychology (humanistic + psychology)
Selected AbstractsAn encounter between psychology and religion: Humanistic psychology and the Immaculate Heart of Mary nunsJOURNAL OF THE HISTORY OF THE BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES, Issue 4 2005Robert Kugelmann In the 1960s, humanistic psychology changed the relationship between psychology and religion by actively asserting the value of individual experience and self-expression. This was particularly evident in the encounter group movement. Beginning in 1967, Carl Rogers conducted a series of encounter groups, in order to promote "self-directed change in an educational system," for the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a religious order in California running an educational system. William Coulson, one of Rogers's associates in the project, later charged that the encounter groups undermined the religious order and played a major contributing part in the breakup of the order in 1970. The article examines these charges, situating the incident within the context of the changes occurring in religious life and in psychology in the 1960s. The article concludes that an already existing conflict the nuns had with the conservative Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles led to the departure of some 300 nuns from the order, who began the Immaculate Heart Community, an organization existing today. Nevertheless, encounter groups proved to be a psychological technology that helped to infuse a modern psychological,specifically, a humanistic psychological,perspective into contemporary religious life. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source] An organization's search for meaning: A humanistic and existential theory of organizational identity and voiceJOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES IN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE, Issue 2 2010John Hoffman Ph.D. Drawing on humanistic and existential psychology, the author suggests that organizations are similar to living entities that experience emotions and struggle with questions of meaning and existence and that the work of leading human organizations is similar to the work of counseling human beings. From this foundation, he characterizes organizational development work as the maturing capacity of organizations to create meaning in the context of dynamic and multifaceted change. The author provides summaries of the major components of existential and humanistic psychology and applies them to organization theory. He concludes by presenting a synthesized model for humanistic-existential organization theory while integrating implications for practice and future research.

[source] Bibliometric Analyses on the Emergence and Present Growth of Positive PsychologyAPPLIED PSYCHOLOGY: HEALTH AND WELL-BEING, Issue 1 2010Gabriel Schui Bibliometric results on the emergence and recent developmental trends of publications on positive psychology are presented within an outline of its precursors (i.e. humanistic psychology) and its special features in reference to humanistic psychology, health psychology, and developmental psychology. Terminological confusions (e.g. positivism in differential psychology vs. in epistemology; positive psychology) in psychological databases are described and resolved in bibliometric analyses for the time period between 2000 and 2008. The present results include findings reporting the incidence of multiple authorships, authors' national institutional affiliations, the semantic network of publications on positive psychology, selected citation rates, and methodological classifications of the literature on positive psychology. With reference to PsycINFO, analyses show that publications on positive psychology increased markedly. Yet in comparison to other psychological subdisciplines and areas, literature output remains rather low. However, results on publication types and media point at a broad-range impact of positive psychology on various applied and basic psychological subdisciplines. Together with the solid empirical foundation of positive psychology's literature, this leads to a positive prognosis for the further development of positive psychology. [source] | ||||||||||
