This paper considers the history, current status, and future of humanistic psychology and multiculturalism in the United States, particularly focusing on the Society for Humanistic Psychology as a leading humanistic psychology organization. Humanistic psychology in the United States has struggled in actualizing its valuing of cultural diversity; however, some progress has been made. Through an exploration of history, current challenges can also be illuminated as well as possible ways to respond to these challenges. An embracement of deep diversity in humanistic psychology is called for, which includes an epistemological and ontological diversity. Furthermore, the implications of Granger’s (2012) call to invite cultural diversity into the home of humanistic psychology are explored. A deep diversity in humanistic psychology includes a broad, inclusive understanding of science as well as an embracement of ways of knowing that are embedded in culture, stories, and poetry. The paper concludes with recommendations for future directions.

This article describes the formation, history, and current mission of the Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Created at the behest of pioneering existential-humanistic psychologist James F.T. Bugental to provide a “home” for trainees specializing in the existential-humanistic approach to psychotherapy, EHI is now a flagship center for that domain of practice. It was also recently granted the Karl and Charlotte Buhler Award for organizations that have made an outstanding contribution to humanistic psychology by the Society for Humanistic Psychology of the American Psychological Association, and it is a beacon for the increasing number of students and professionals who hunger for a deeper and more intimate perspective than that typically offered by conventional training institutions.
