The Humanistic-existential School
The humanistic school is based on humanism, a system of values and beliefs that emphasizes the better qualities of humankind and people's abilities to develop their human potential. Humanistic therapists emphasize enhancing clients' abilities to experience their feelings and think and act in harmony with their underlying tendencies to actualise themselves as unique individuals. Existential approaches to therapy stress people's capacity to choose how they create their existences.
- From the humanistic perspective we take the assumption that we can exercise increasing freedom to choose our future. Although we are shaped by our social environment and although much of our behaviour is a product of learning and conditioning, an increased awareness of these forces allows us to transcend these influences and accept personal responsibility for our lives.
