ABSTRACT
Humanistic Psychology might, in time, become a barely significant set of nostalgic theories and practices, or could yet find ways to bring its important focus on birth, education, feelings, spirituality, and patriarchal civilization to a new readership and public. In a nutshell, we humans retain all animals' need for food, and most of us also retain some tendencies to be somewhat territorial, kin-protective and xenophobic, driven toward sex, with some inflexible behavioural habits, and so on. The distinction between the confusing secular connotation of 'humanism' and Humanistic Psychology and psycho-practice might finally be made clear. The precise relationship between Humanistic Psychology and the human potential movement likewise, but also consideration of views on the human condition, human nature, trans/post-humanism and the multiplicity of relevant anthropologies, might be focused upon. Acceptance of Humanistic Psychology as a noble-enough ragbag of alternative lifestyles and modestly anti-establishment politics could be made explicit.
