Humanistic Psychology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies counseling and group approaches based on humanistic psychology.
AboutAbout the lab
Learning from both theory and experience.
The lab conducts practical research on counseling based on humanistic psychology (client-centered therapy and experiential psychotherapy), encounter groups and facilitator training, and support in the forensic field.
The lab hopes students will acquire, in good balance, both "theoretical learning" through close reading of papers and specialist books, and "experiential learning" through experiences such as helping and being helped and group experiences.
The research topics, subjects, and approaches of students in the lab vary widely.
