What is a Ph.D. in Psychology?

The Doctor of Philosophy degree, Ph.D., is the highest degree awarded by a university and is granted only upon sufficient evidence of scholarship. A Doctor of Philosophy in Humanistic Psychology is trained to do research, and to work therapeutically to modify behavior and mental processes. The emphasis is on the "Whole Person Approach." When the whole person functions together harmoniously the complete individual performs best. A humanistic therapist aims to help patients achieve their fullest potential by removing blocks for growth in order to enjoy a higher quality of life.
