Are qualitative methods always best for humanistic psychology research? A conversation on the epistemological divide between humanistic and positive psychology
The role of qualitative methods within humanistic psychology research is explored though a Web-based dialogue among the authors expressing varying, and often quite diverging, views on assorted concerns about research methodologies and their underlying epistemologies. Specifically explored is whether qualitative methods are inherently better for capturing an understanding of human experience congruent with a human science approach to research or, …

A Tribute To Frank Barron
This is a tribute to the late Frank X. Barron, whose research and writings were a personal stimulation to the author and countless other colleagues and students. His contribution to the field of psychology-specifically, creativity and personality theory-is reviewed in light of the academic and social mindset of the era that it helped to radically alter: He achieved this by identifying vital, complex, contradictory, and eccentric forces not outsid…

Recognizable paths of humanistic psychology
Instinct, intuition and supraconscious
In the West, intuition has been identified with — or somewhere between — the instincts and the gods. The epistemological status of intuition in the Western history of ideas has been muddled and, during our recent rationalistic (modern) period, has been either discounted or dismissed. Intuition's problematic status rests on a skeptical rationalism which is a reactive pole to blind faith. A number of polarities which have accrued from this foundati…
Philosophy, psychology and the moral crisis
The author presents, and his thinking passes through, the work of Werner Marx who seeks a non‐metaphysical ethical mooring via compassion, grounded in emotional dimensions of existential‐phenomenology. Through Marx's re‐centered compassion the author inquires if reason and faith cannot be resurrected in intrinsic and holistic form. Marx's ethics is introduced as one of the directions humanistic thinking is taking, suggesting this latter's conside…

Creativity, humanistic psychology and the American zeitgeist
One research topic, creativity, and one orientation, Humanistic‐Transpersonal, emerged in American psychology during the 1950's and 1960's. Points of intrinsic relationship between these two are revealed, through historical reflection, to be, not only contributions to, but expressive reactions to the psychology of the time and manifestations of a greater socio‐cultural upheaval in the nation at the time

A proposal for credentialing humanistic practice
Human Science Research Methods
In this work, we contribute to the human science research paradigm now emerging internationally by describing four major human science research methods: the experiential, hermeneutical, perceptual psychological, and phenomenological. Each author has contributed to the development and utilization of one of these methodologies, while remaining conversant with the others. We recognize the unique value of each, but also are convinced that the human s…
