Humanistic psychology

Humanistic psychology looks at the human spirit and studies the values, intentions and meaning as elements of a conscious existence. Behavioural and social sciences influence a persons mind and spirit. It is helpful to have an understanding of these influences when practising holistic medicine. Humanistic psychology will help with holistic medicine, as healing the mind is as important as healing the body.

Studies have shown that humanistic psychology acknowledges the mind is strongly influenced by determining forces in society and in the unconscious, and that some of these are negative and destructive. Humanistic psychology nevertheless emphasizes the independent dignity and worth of human beings and their conscious capacity to develop personal competence and self respect. This value orientation has led to the development of therapies to facilitate personal and interpersonal skills and to enhance the quality of life.
