About Existential Humanistic Institute

The primary focus of the Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) is training; offering courses in existential-humanistic therapy and theory. EHI was formed in 1997 as a program under the auspices of the Pacific Institute, non-profit organization 501(c)(3). EHI offers courses on the principles of existential-humanistic practice and theory, and provides residential training in existential-humanistic therapeutic practice. Most of EHI's instructors have trained extensively with such masters as James Bugental, Irvin Yalom and Rollo May, and are among the most highly trained existential-humanistic practitioners in the country. The goal of the institute - via both its curriculum and newsletters - is to support existentially and humanistically informed psychologies and psychotherapies throughout the world. By "existentially informed" we mean perspectives that stress freedom, experiential reflection, and responsibility. By "humanistically informed" we mean purviews that address two overarching questions - What does it mean to be fully, experientially human, and how does that understanding illuminate the vital or fulfilled life? Themes covered in EHI classes include: existential-humanistic philosophy and practice, the inner search process, subjectivity and encounter, the responsibility of the therapist. These courses explain existential-humanistic conceptions of resistance, meaning and alignment, existential spirituality, and integrative existential practice.
