Humanistic psychology (the third-force)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The term ‘third force’ is actually a general categorisation of several orientations and emphases within psychology. The third force may be anything, which is not behaviourism or psychoanalysis. Elements of this third force are humanism, phenomenology, or existentialism. This movement is multifaceted in nature: it consists of diverse, even conflicting components. It is both a reaction to and an extension of behaviourism and psychoanalysis. It is both an abstract entity and a practical guide for living. Membership in the movement is by self-proclamation, not by acceptance of a set of monolithic principles and beliefs.

متن کاملExistentialism, Humanism and Psychotherapy
