* Carl Rogers (1946) publishes Significant aspects of client-centered therapy (also called person centered therapy).
* In 1957 and 1958, at the invitation of Abraham Maslow and Clark Moustakas, two meetings were held in Detroit among psychologists who were interested in founding a professional association dedicated to a more meaningful, more humanistic vision.
* In 1962, with the sponsorship of Brandeis University, this movement was formally launched as the Association for Humanistic Psychology.
* The first issue of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology appeared in the Spring of 1961.
