Remembering a pioneering humanistic psychologist

What is it about?

This article focuses long overdue attention on an historically important, but underappreciated, early contributor to the field of humanistic psychology. It not only highlights her academic contributions--which are considerable. But also, and perhaps more importantly, it gives the reader a felt-sense of this great and highly inspirational teacher as a completely authentic human being, as a female establishing herself with unassuming flare in a field dominated by men, at a time when that field was still defining itself and finding its way.

Why is it important?

It is important both academically and historically to give credit where credit is due and to recognize the very real contributions of those giants upon who's shoulders the rest of us, who have come later, stand. Beyond this, it is a very real pleasure to remember, honor, and reflect upon the lives of those who have inspired us and guided us by the power of their vision and the integrity of their being.
