Humanism and Psychology Class

Saturday October 21, 3:00 PM

at private home in San Francisco;

Join us for a discussion on the intersection of humanism and psychology.  Humanism is a philosophy that relies on reason and science for understanding of the universe, including ourselves. Psychology has played a role in the human effort to understanding the workings of our minds but, until quite recently, without much success.
