Journal of Humanistic Counseling

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Humanistic Counseling focuses on humanistic and existential counseling theories and practices. It explores the integration of technology, such as artificial intelligence, into counseling, and the impact of technology on human experience. The journal also examines nature-based self-care (EcoWellness), the role of self-compassion and minority stress in therapy, and fostering belonging in counselor education. Further topics include embodied self-awareness in supervision, the application of intellectual virtues in counseling, the use of rationale to strengthen the therapeutic alliance, and addressing the mental health needs of marginalized communities, particularly Black Americans, through lenses like Black Critical Theory. The journal also features work on Gestalt therapy, including its application to addiction recovery, relational aspects, community exploration, and integration with psychedelic-assisted therapy, as well as trauma-informed care for war survivors and refugees, and the exploration of forgiveness and its emotional states.
