SHP Conference Cancelled, Hopefully Postponed

Nathaniel Granger, Chair of the Society of Humanistic Psychology’s Conference Committee, has announced that the annual SHP Conference has been cancelled and hopefully only postponed.

Greetings SHP Friends and Family,

It is with saddened hearts that the Society for Humanistic has cancelled/postponed its conference in light of COVID-19. Many of our attendees and presenters fall into the categories outlined by the CDC. Furthermore, we have been notified by others who cannot travel as a result of bands placed on travel. The barrage of phone calls, emails, and inquiries have made it virtually impossible to proceed as planned, and the complications resulting from the coronavirus has made it impossible for us to hold a viable conference at this time. JUST IN: The University of New Orleans (UNO) our host school, has just announced that they have cancelled all classes and switched to online classes. UNO has agreed to grant us full reimbursement and other vendors have been most sensitive. For reimbursement questions, please email Andrew Bland andrewbland@hotmail.com and/or Kevin Keenan at kkeenan@msp.edu. We are all disheartened and thank you all for your understanding and consideration in this unfortunate and unforeseen matter. We do look forward to seeing you at the upcoming SHP conference, time to be determined.

Warmly,

Nathaniel Granger, Jr., PsyD.

Chair, SHP Conference Committee

In this session, Dr. Schneider will unveil and demonstrate the Experiential Democracy Dialogue, a pioneering method he has developed to counteract the deep-seated and perilous polarization affecting our societies and the wider world. This polarization is not only widespread but also represents one of the most pressing social and psychological challenges of our time. Dr. Schneider advocates for an urgent, depth, and existentially oriented approach to healing.

The Society of Humanistic Psychology 17th Annual Conference

How can humanistic psychology actualize itself today to meet the needs of a fast-paced, distracted, survival-focused, experientially-avoidant, interpersonally-isolated, rating- and metric-centered, systems-blind, toxically-masculine, xenophobic, inequitized, traumatized, polarized, technocratic, post-truth, post-pandemic society-in-transition? Paradoxically, to accomplish that undertaking, “Old Saybrook 3” also celebrates the wisdom of our elders and reminds us not to turn a blind eye to their rich and enriching intellectual and experiential contributions. How might we demonstrate that humanistic psychology is, far from being a mere historical relic, well-equipped in its core values and theory/philosophy, pluralistic methods, and robust, decades-long canon of research/scholarship to resonate with the 2020s zeitgeist? And, with that, what can we do to promote an I-Thou way of being in an increasingly I-It world?
