Bringing Psychological Science into Dialogue with the Humanities
Our lectures, workshops, and learning groups facilitate dialogue on the topics of meaning, suffering, identity, and potential, with particular concern for the enduring ethical questions at the heart of human existence. Most of our offerings provide continuing education (CE's) for psychologists (APA), licensed mental health counselors (LMHC), and licensed independent/clinical social workers (LI/LCSW).
If the discipline of psychology is to reach its full potential as a means of not only informing our understanding of the human condition but also aiding in the development of the ethical and spiritual dimensions of human life, then psychological education and training must be broadened to include more humanistic approaches to identity and personhood. The goal of our program offerings is to better prepare clinicians, practitioners, and psychotherapists to engage with the fundamental questions of human existence by introducing them to the wealth of literature and ideas made available to them from related disciplines. Not only will participants in our programming grow in their professional practices, they will broaden their understandings of themselves, their neighbors, and the world in which we live.
