Aims and scope

Published by the American Psychological Association from 2016

The Humanistic Psychologist, a publication of the Society for Humanistic Psychology, Division 32 of the American Psychological Association, is devoted to reflective inquiry into “humanistic psychologies,” broadly defined. The journal publishes papers on qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research; humanistic, existential, constructivist and transpersonal theories and psychotherapies; and articles grounded in phenomenological, hermeneutic, critical, feminist, and multicultural perspectives. In the spirit of a forward moving field, its editorial board welcomes submissions representing both traditional conceptions and contemporary critiques of humanistic psychology. In the context of our commitment to epistemological diversity, we also invite contributions representing indigenous psychologies, dialogue between humanistic and positive psychologies, as well as commentary, essays, book reviews, memorials, and brief reflections.

Peer Review Policy: Unless noted otherwise, all articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous review by two referees.
