Title: American Association for Humanistic Psychology
In 1962 the “American Association for Humanistic Psychology” was founded, among its founding members: Abraham Maslow, Anthony Sutich, Gordon W. Alport, Kurt Goldstein, Rollo May, Henry A. Murray and Carl Rogers. The main objective of this association was to explore the characteristics of human behavior as well as the emotional dynamics of a full and healthy life.
Humanism presented a model of man searching to fulfill its potential offering an alternative to previous others which depicted a pathological model of man.
