Conference Session #3374, “Carmi Harari Early Career Awards for Inquiry.” Presentation venue details: Presented Saturday, August 16, 2008, 4 p.m.—4:50 p.m., in the Boston Marriott Copley Place Hotel, Clarendon Room, 3 rd Floor. Context: This is an address given on the occasion of the author’s receiving the Carmi Harari Early Career Award for Inquiry, from the Society for Humanistic Psychology (Division 32 of the American Psychological Association). Abstract This presentation addresses ways to facilitate the propagation of the humanistic perspective throughout disciplinary psychology. To inform psychologists and students about the existence of a vital humanistic psychology movement, and to communicate an accurate image of humanistic psychology, a three-fold program is proposed for members of APA Division 32 to involve themselves in: (1) communicate the worth of the humanistic perspective (through talks at undergraduate and graduate schools, as well as articles in divisional newsletters and journals and convention programs); (2) invite others to the humanistic perspective; and (3) generate humanistic psychology (through publication of qualitative and quantitative research in core and divisional APA journals). A slogan—“Humanistic Psychology: The Psychology of Meaning”—is placed in the public domain.
