In Resituating Humanistic Psychology, Patrick Whitehead and Miles Groth urge psychologists to return to the aims and goals of psychology as it first emerged. Illustrating how the field has veered from its initial conception, Whitehead and Groth trace its growth from the late 1800s to the humanistic revolution of the 1960s to the current period of social unrest. Whitehead and Groth touch on Wilhelm Wundt’s and William James’s vision for the field; the lasting changes made to clinical psychology, methods of investigation, and psychology of learning in the 1960s; and the effects of isolation, extreme connectivity, and social politics on psychology today. This book is recommended for scholars and students of psychology, history, and philosophy.

“Weaving rigorous critical examination with reflexivity and intimacy, Whitehead and Groth solidly demonstrate that, far from being a historical relic, humanistic approaches in psychology and psychotherapy are primed to tackle the polarizations that bitterly characterize the early 21st century—corporate medicalization, scientism, and impersonal dissemination of facts in education on one hand; paternalism and identity politics on the other.”
Andrew Bland, Millersville University
