TY - JOUR A1 - Hoffman, Dassie T1 - Sándor Ferenczi and the Origins of Humanistic Psychology JF - Journal of Humanistic Psychology, No. 43 (2003), pp. 59-86. [Online ISSN1552-650X] [doi.org/10.1177/0022167803257133] N2 - This article discusses Sándor Ferenczi’s contributions to the evolution of psychoanalytic theories, and how these ideas were passed through the generations. Ferenczi introduced such concepts as greater activity by the psychotherapist, the need for emotional connection between the therapist and client, the significance of the interpersonal aspects of the therapeutic experience, and the place of empathy within the therapeutic milieu. The second generation reviewed here is the Neo-Freudian, including Andras Angyal, Izette deForest, Erich Fromm, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Karen Horney, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Clara Thompson. The next generation reviewed is that of the foremost humanistic psychologists, Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, Carl Rogers, and James Bugental. Y1 - 2003 ER -
