Evaluating and Applying Humanistic Psychology

Strengths of humanistic approach It emphasises choice (free will and responsibility) – largely ignored by the other approaches It considers subjective conscious experience It values personal ideals and self-fulfilment It has enabled psychologists to explore human existence with more sensitivity than the more scientific methods It has contributed to psychological theories and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of some disorders such as depression and stress

Limitations of humanistic approach This approach has less impact on mainstream psychology than the other approaches The use of qualitative techniques has been questioned As the subject matter is individual experience it is not possible to formulate general laws of behaviour and as such is not a comprehensive theory but rather a loose set of abstract ideas. Due to the vagueness of such terms as ‘self-actualisation’ and fully-functioning person’, little empirical research has been carried out – untestable concepts Not all cultures share the assumption that individual achievement brings fulfilment

Applications of the approach Topic area Application Depression Depression/low self-esteem results from lack of unconditional positive regard and an inability to accept one’s self Schizophrenia Humanistic therapies cannot directly tackle serious disorders but can be used as a supportive therapy, for relatives for example Aggression Aggressive behaviour results from people who are not fully functioning at a psychological level. As a result this blocks personal growth and prevents of self-actualisation. To remove aggression facilitates personal growth. Stress Counselling for stressful life events such as divorce and bereavement allows clients insight and control.

Influence on Counselling Psychology

What does the research say? Gibbard and Hanley (2008) Background - Counselling is the recommended treatment for individuals with mild to moderate mental health problems of recent onset. Aim - In this evaluation of a primary care counselling service offering person-centred counselling, the Core Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) was administered at referral and at the beginning and end of therapy. Procedure - A pre-post therapy effect size for 697 individuals over a 5 year period was 1.2. This compares with a waitlist (between referral and pre therapy) effect size of 0.24 for 382 individuals over a three year period. Results - The results indicate that person-centred counselling is effective for clients with common mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression. Conclusion - Effectiveness is not limited to individuals with mild to moderate symptoms of recent onset, but extends to people with moderate to severe symptoms of longer duration.
