EHTP 3515 - Foundations of Phenomenological Psychology


Phenomenological psychological research is rooted in a rich tradition of philosophical and psychological thought. This course offers students an overview of the philosophical background and critique of mainstream psychology that underlies phenomenological psychology. Students will survey the philosophy of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty and read Giorgi's landmark book, Psychology as a Human Science, which exemplifies the re-envisioning of psychology along phenomenological and humanistic lines. 3 credit(s)
