MLS 576 - Existential and Humanistic Psychology

Credit(s): 4
Can people really change? Do we have control of our future? What does it mean to be a person? The first half of this course looks at these issues from the perspective of existential and humanistic psychologists Ludwig Binswanger, Rollo May, Viktor Frankl, and Carl Rogers. The second half looks at nontraditional approaches to existential and humanistic issues including biofeedback, mind-body connections, dream interpretation, meditation, and learned optimism.
