The One

This chapter examines changes in American business culture through shifts in postwar management theory, on the one hand, and fiction about corporate life by Sloan Wilson and Saul Bellow, on the other. The chapter also analyzes the American reception of Franz Kafka’s fiction and Martin Heidegger’s philosophy. Additional considerations include Abraham Maslow’s humanistic psychology and the history of managerial capitalism in the United States. The chapter demonstrates that these various trends exhibit the development of a new philosophy of liberal management. This philosophy stands in opposition to the “scientific efficiency” of Frederick Winslow Taylor, and more generally it also turns against the “wage hierarchy” as the primary site for liberal intervention.

The Relationship

This article builds on earlier work by Rich in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology on relations between positive psychology and humanistic psychology and examines both developments and challenges over the past 15 years, including discussion of leading critics of positive psychology such as Brown, Friedman, Held, Kagan, Waterman, and Wong. The discipline of positive psychology is contextualized with respect to the history of psychology in general, and humanistic psychology in particular, and several notable examples of well-being research are examined critically, including work by Fredrickson on the positivity ratio, and mixed-methods research by anthropologists. The article explores some limitations of the use of quantitative methods in positive psychology, notes some advantages of the use of qualitative methods for positive psychology, and discusses issues regarding the relationship between positive psychology and humanistic psychology, including how, whether, if, and when scholars from the two disciplines could collaborate in meaningful and effective ways.

Gestalt Therapy has been growing and developing since its arrival in the 1950's. For some authors, Gestalt-therapy is involved in the process of receiving phenomenology in Humanistic Psychology. However, specifics and institutionalized aspects of its studies, as disciplinarization, are barely visible in Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). In this scenario, this research aims to describe and analyze Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization in MS, between 1980 and 1990. Methodologically, this is a research in History of Psychology that uses Documentary and Content Analysis from oral and textual sources. Results indicate that Gestalt-Therapy's disciplinarization happened at the same time the firsts psychologists graduated in the city. They also highlight the involvement in the Gestalt-Therapy's training as a possibility of expansion knowledge, considering the scenario of Campo Grande, at the time, made it difficult to access complementary education. Finally, they suggest an eminently female group profile that shows the importance of therapeutic experiences in the group formation. Therefore, by unveiling this process, we understand certain aspects of the history of Brazilian Psychology, in addition to clarifying untold aspects of this local history.

Epistemological Basis

This article aims to investigate the theoretical-practical approaches of Gestalt-therapy (GT) and Nonviolent Communication (NC) in order to theoretically support possible psychological practices to use them simultaneously. The investigations started from the history of both and their respective founders. Through historical analysis, the influence of the Person-Centered Approach in the dialogues between GT and NC is perceived. Then, the investigations take place on an epistemological basis, addressing Phenomenology, existential assumptions and Humanistic Psychology. Finally, we discuss the main concepts and how they come together. Regarding the GT, the concept of Creative Adjustment and its forms of confluence, introjection, projection, retroflection and egotism are approached; and, regarding NC, the components of observation, feeling, need and request are addressed. Finally, the Grok game is cited as a practical approach. In view of such approaches, it is evident that the GT and the NC value the individual's potential and believe in his inseparability with the environment. From this point of view, both defend the importance of the human being's awareness of the feelings and needs that arise in and around him, in order to promote a more empathic and, therefore, less violent society.

The Way

Combining cultural history with the insights of psychoanalytic theory, this article examines Maurice Sendak's Caldecott-winning and controversial Where the Wild Things Are (1963), arguing that Sendak’s book represents picturebook psychology as it stood in the early 1960s but also radically recasts it, paving the way for a groundswell in applied picturebook psychology. The book can be understood as rewriting classical Freudian analysis, retaining some of its rigor and edge while making it more palatably American. Where the Wild Things Are has been embraced as a psychological primer, a story about anger and its management through fantasy; it is also a text in which echoes of Freud remain audible. It is read it here as a bedtime-story version of Freud’s Wolf Man case history of 1918, an updated and upbeat dream of the wolf boy. It is to Sendak what the Wolf Man case was to Freud, a career-making feral tale. Standing at the crossroads of Freudian tradition, child analysis, humanistic psychology, and bibliotherapy, the article reveals how the book both clarified and expanded the uses of picturebook enchantment.
