of Humanistic Psychology.
Purpose:
To develop and promote Humanistic Psychology in the
field internationally, to advocate for humanistic
approaches, practices, and principles, and to offer
humanistic professionals a forum and vehicle to share
and develop their skills, explorations, experience,
and orientation. This can include professional development,
training, research, networking, expanding opportunities
for collaborating with other professional organizations,
etc. To engage in activism to put humanistic principles

our day.
