Encountering America : humanistic psychology, sixties culture, and the shaping of the modern self / Jessica Grogan. by Grogan, Jessica. Perennial ; Publishers Group UK [distributor], 2013. Call #: 150.1986 G874e Subjects Humanistic psychology.   Psychology -- History -- 20th century.   Nineteen sixties -- Social aspects.   United States -- Civilization -- 1945-   United States -- Social life and customs -- 1945-1970   United States -- Social life and customs -- 1971- ISBN:  9780061834769 (pbk.) 0061834769 (pbk.) Description:  412 p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  Cultural historian Jessica Grogan reveals how these ideas stormed the barricades of our culture through the humanistic psychology movement--the work of a handful of maverick psychologists who revolutionized American culture in the 1960s and '70s. Profiling thought leaders including Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, and Timothy Leary, Grogan draws on untapped primary sources to explore how these minds and the changing cultural atmosphere combined to create a widely influential movement. From the group of ideas that became known as New Age to perennial American anxieties about wellness, identity, and purpose, Grogan traces how humanistic psychology continues to define the way we understand ourselves.--P.
