Abstract

Abstract Some mid‐twentieth century American psychologists angrily voiced their discontent with the monopoly of behaviorism over American psychology. Upon Abraham Maslow's suggestion they referred to themselves as a “third force” psychology (the other forces being behaviorism and psychoanalysis) and founded humanistic psychology. This essay narrates the historical origins of two key institutions of this movement in American psychology: The Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP) and its Journal of Humanistic Psychology (JHP), and Division of Humanistic Psychology (32) of the American Psychological Association (APA).
