Summary: This guide explores the "3rd force of psychology," encompassing humanistic and existential approaches. It delves into the core principles, prominent figures, therapeutic techniques, best practices, and potential pitfalls associated with this influential perspective. The guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the 3rd force, its applications, and its significance in contemporary psychology.
Introduction: Understanding the 3rd Force of Psychology
The "3rd force of psychology" represents a significant departure from the dominant schools of thought that preceded it: psychoanalysis (the first force) and behaviorism (the second force). Emerging in the mid-20th century, the 3rd force, encompassing humanistic and existential psychology, emphasizes human potential, free will, subjective experience, and personal growth. Unlike its predecessors, which often focused on pathology and external determinants of behavior, the 3rd force prioritizes the individual's inherent capacity for self-understanding and self-actualization.
H1: Core Principles of the 3rd Force
The 3rd force rests on several fundamental principles:
Holistic Perspective: It views individuals as integrated wholes, not simply a collection of parts.
Subjective Experience: Emphasizes the importance of understanding the individual's unique perspective and lived experience.
Personal Growth and Self-Actualization: Focuses on the inherent drive towards personal growth, fulfillment, and realizing one's full potential.
Free Will and Self-Determination: Highlights the individual's capacity for choice and responsibility in shaping their own lives.
Meaning and Purpose: Explores the individual's search for meaning and purpose in life.
H2: Prominent Figures and Therapeutic Approaches
Several influential figures shaped the 3rd force:
Carl Rogers: Developed person-centered therapy, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness.
Abraham Maslow: Known for his hierarchy of needs and the concept of self-actualization.
Fritz Perls: Founder of Gestalt therapy, focusing on present moment awareness and integration of body, mind, and emotions.
Viktor Frankl: Pioneer of logotherapy, emphasizing the search for meaning in life as a primary motivator.
Rollo May: A key figure in existential psychology, exploring themes of anxiety, freedom, and responsibility.
H3: Best Practices in 3rd Force Therapy
Effective 3rd force therapy involves:
Creating a Safe and Supportive Therapeutic Relationship: The therapist's empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard are crucial.
Facilitating Self-Discovery and Self-Acceptance: Techniques like reflection, active listening, and exploring personal values are employed.
Encouraging Personal Responsibility: Clients are empowered to take ownership of their lives and make conscious choices.
Promoting Self-Actualization: Therapy helps clients identify and overcome obstacles to achieving their full potential.
Focusing on Strengths and Resources: The therapist highlights the client's strengths and helps them utilize their resources for growth.
H4: Common Pitfalls in 3rd Force Therapy
While powerful, the 3rd force is not without potential pitfalls:
Lack of Structure: Some approaches can lack structure, leading to client confusion or feeling lost.
Overemphasis on Positivism: Focusing solely on positive aspects can neglect difficult emotions and experiences.
Difficulty with Severe Pathology: Some approaches may be less effective with individuals experiencing severe mental illness.
Therapist Bias: The therapist's own values and beliefs can inadvertently influence the therapeutic process.
Limited Empirical Evidence: Compared to other approaches, some 3rd force therapies have less extensive empirical support.
H5: The 3rd Force in Contemporary Psychology
The 3rd force continues to exert a significant influence on contemporary psychology. Its principles are integrated into various therapeutic approaches and inform our understanding of human well-being. Positive psychology, a growing field, draws heavily from the 3rd force's emphasis on strengths, resilience, and flourishing.
Conclusion:
The 3rd force of psychology offers a valuable perspective on human experience, emphasizing individual potential and the inherent drive towards growth. By understanding its core principles, therapeutic approaches, best practices, and potential pitfalls, clinicians can utilize this powerful framework to support clients in their journey towards self-discovery, self-acceptance, and personal fulfillment. While not a panacea, the 3rd force provides a vital counterpoint to more reductionistic models, offering a holistic and deeply human approach to understanding and addressing psychological well-being.

| 3rd force of psychology: The 71F Advantage National Defense University Press, 2010-09 Includes a foreword by Major General David A. Rubenstein. From the editor: 71F, or 71 Foxtrot, is the AOC (area of concentration) code assigned by the U.S. Army to the specialty of Research Psychology. Qualifying as an Army research psychologist requires, first of all, a Ph.D. from a research (not clinical) intensive graduate psychology program. Due to their advanced education, research psychologists receive a direct commission as Army officers in the Medical Service Corps at the rank of captain. In terms of numbers, the 71F AOC is a small one, with only 25 to 30 officers serving in any given year. However, the 71F impact is much bigger than this small cadre suggests. Army research psychologists apply their extensive training and expertise in the science of psychology and social behavior toward understanding, preserving, and enhancing the health, well being, morale, and performance of Soldiers and military families. As is clear throughout the pages of this book, they do this in many ways and in many areas, but always with a scientific approach. This is the 71F advantage: applying the science of psychology to understand the human dimension, and developing programs, policies, and products to benefit the person in military operations. This book grew out of the April 2008 biennial conference of U.S. Army Research Psychologists, held in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting was to be my last as Consultant to the Surgeon General for Research Psychology, and I thought it would be a good idea to publish proceedings, which had not been done before. As Consultant, I'd often wished for such a document to help explain to people what it is that Army Research Psychologists do for a living. In addition to our core group of 71Fs, at the Bethesda 2008 meeting we had several brand-new members, and a number of distinguished retirees, the grey-beards of the 71F clan. Together with longtime 71F colleagues Ross Pastel and Mark Vaitkus, I also saw an unusual opportunity to capture some of the history of the Army Research Psychology specialty while providing a representative sample of current 71F research and activities. It seemed to us especially important to do this at a time when the operational demands on the Army and the total force were reaching unprecedented levels, with no sign of easing, and with the Army in turn relying more heavily on research psychology to inform its programs for protecting the health, well being, and performance of Soldiers and their families. |

| 3rd force of psychology: The Strength of Self-Acceptance Michael E. Bernard, 2014-07-08 Self-acceptance is recognized in diverse schools of Christian and Eastern theology as well as in various schools of counseling and psychotherapy (e.g., Humanistic, Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy) as a major contributor to mental health, life satisfaction and wellness. A review of the professional literature reveals there is no text that spells out how different theologies, theories of personality and approaches to counseling and therapy conceptualize self-acceptance and how this concept is interrelated to other aspects and constructs of spirituality and psychological functioning (e.g., flexibility, mindfulness). Additionally, the field of positive psychology, which studies the character strengths and virtues that help individuals to experience well-being and to flourish, has largely ignored the concept of self-acceptance. |
| 3rd force of psychology: Psychotherapy Relationships that Work John C. Norcross, Michael J. Lambert, 2019-06-05 First published in 2002, the landmark Psychotherapy Relationships That Work broke new ground by focusing renewed and corrective attention on the substantial research behind the crucial (but often overlooked) client-therapist relationship. This highly cited, widely adopted classic is now presented in two volumes: Evidence-based Therapist Contributions, edited by John C. Norcross and Michael J. Lambert; and Evidence-based Therapist Responsiveness, edited by John C. Norcross and Bruce E. Wampold. Each chapter in the two volumes features a specific therapist behavior that improves treatment outcome, or a transdiagnostic patient characteristic by which clinicians can effectively tailor psychotherapy. In addition to updates to existing chapters, the third edition features new chapters on the real relationship, emotional expression, immediacy, therapist self-disclosure, promoting treatment credibility, and adapting therapy to the patient's gender identity and sexual orientation. All chapters provide original meta-analyses, clinical examples, landmark studies, diversity considerations, training implications, and most importantly, research-infused therapeutic practices by distinguished contributors. Featuring expanded coverage and an enhanced practice focus, the third edition of the seminal Psychotherapy Relationships That Work offers a compelling synthesis of the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient characteristics in the tradition of evidence-based practice. |
| 3rd force of psychology: The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters Laurence Miller, 2020-02-11 The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters: Science, Practice, and Police is a fascinating look into the reality of police work. The author integrates noted theories into a “street-wise” understanding of being a police officer. The focus of this book is on the use of deadly force by officers—a topic of considerable importance. The author discusses the psychosocial aspects of deadly force use, stemming from the individual officer, the situation, organizational influences, and the police culture. Expanding further into social issues, the controversial topic of race and use of deadly force is discussed. This depiction looks at both sides—that of racial victimization and that of the police—which helps to provide a rather unique perspective on this important issue. Of interest, the author breaks down the different dimensions of cognition as a factor in decision making among police, including the perception of the situation, the action taken depending on that perception, and the role of present and past memory. This will make for a useful training topic to alert officers to the cognitive processes that go into deadly force use—processes that they have the control to change to make a better decision. Next, the book delves into the biological factors that may be involved in police decision making—again where deadly force is involved. The various negative psychological impacts that a deadly force situation may bring about are identified and explained. This book will be useful as a tool for both law enforcement practitioners and researchers to better understand the intricacies of deadly force by the police. For researchers, the book has a multitude of references available for further exploration. It will prove to be a useful guide and reference volume for police managers and supervisors, mental health clinicians, investigators, attorneys, judges, law enforcement educators and trainers, rank and file police officers, including expert witnesses. |

| 3rd force of psychology: General Theory Of Employment , Interest And Money John Maynard Keynes, 2016-04 John Maynard Keynes is the great British economist of the twentieth century whose hugely influential work The General Theory of Employment, Interest and * is undoubtedly the century's most important book on economics--strongly influencing economic theory and practice, particularly with regard to the role of government in stimulating and regulating a nation's economic life. Keynes's work has undergone significant revaluation in recent years, and Keynesian views which have been widely defended for so long are now perceived as at odds with Keynes's own thinking. Recent scholarship and research has demonstrated considerable rivalry and controversy concerning the proper interpretation of Keynes's works, such that recourse to the original text is all the more important. Although considered by a few critics that the sentence structures of the book are quite incomprehensible and almost unbearable to read, the book is an essential reading for all those who desire a basic education in economics. The key to understanding Keynes is the notion that at particular times in the business cycle, an economy can become over-productive (or under-consumptive) and thus, a vicious spiral is begun that results in massive layoffs and cuts in production as businesses attempt to equilibrate aggregate supply and demand. Thus, full employment is only one of many or multiple macro equilibria. If an economy reaches an underemployment equilibrium, something is necessary to boost or stimulate demand to produce full employment. This something could be business investment but because of the logic and individualist nature of investment decisions, it is unlikely to rapidly restore full employment. Keynes logically seizes upon the public budget and government expenditures as the quickest way to restore full employment.

| 3rd force of psychology: Husserl and Heidegger Timothy J. Stapleton, 1984-06-30 The phenomenology of Edmund Husserl has decisively influenced much of contemporary philosophy. Yet Husserl's philosophy has come under such criticism that today it is viewed as little more than a historical relic. One of the most important and influential critiques of Husserl's transcendental phenomenology was launched by Martin Heidegger in Being and Time, which radically reinterpreted phenomenology. Timothy Stapleton returns to the origin of phenomenology to provide a clear, concise perspective on where it has been and on where it ought to be heading. This book is a careful reexamination of the internal development of Husserl's thought as well as of the ways in which Heidegger used and transformed the phenomenological method. It begins with an interpretation of the transcendental dimension of Husserl's philosophy, stressing the importance of the ontological rather than the epistemological problematic in determining the unfolding of Husserlian thought. The work progresses to an account of Heidegger's early works, viewed as a radicalization of Husserl's phenomenology both in name and substance. Stapleton concludes by contrasting a transcendental origin with a hermeneutic beginning point in terms of their respective ideals of intelligibility, meaning, and being; and then looks at some of the consequences of the idea of a hermeneutic philosophy. |

| 3rd force of psychology: Psychological Agency Roger Frie, 2008 A multidisciplinary exploration of agency as a central psychological phenomenon based on the affective, embodied, and relational processing of human experience. Agency is a central psychological phenomenon that must be accounted for in any explanatory framework for human action. According to the diverse group of scholars, researchers, and clinicians who have contributed chapters to this book, psychological agency is not a fixed entity that conforms to traditional definitions of free will but an affective, embodied, and relational processing of human experience. Agency is dependent on the biological, social, and cultural contexts that inform and shape who we are. Yet agency also involves the creation of meaning and the capacity for imagining new and different ways of being and acting and cannot be entirely reduced to biology or culture. This generative potential of agency is central to the process of psychotherapy and to psychological change and development. The chapters explore psychological agency in theoretical, clinical and developmental, and social and cultural contexts. Psychological agency is presented as situated within a web of intersecting biophysical and cultural contexts in an ongoing interactive and developmental process. Persons are seen as not only shaped by, but also capable of fashioning and refashioning their contexts in new and meaningful ways. The contributors have all trained in psychology or psychiatry, and many have backgrounds in philosophy; wherever possible they combinetheoretical discussion with clinical case illustration.

| 3rd force of psychology: The Art of Living Sideways Sophie Friedel, 2015-03-11 Sophie Friedel explores the action of skateboarding in her book as a way to escape cycles of despair, not only in war torn environments and regions affected by poverty.

| 3rd force of psychology: Creating the Third Force Hamdesa Tuso, Maureen P. Flaherty, 2016-11-21 The profession of peacemaking has been practiced by indigenous communities around the world for many centuries; however, the ethnocentric world view of the West, which dominated the world of ideas for the last five centuries, dismissed indigenous forms of peacemaking as irrelevant and backward tribal rituals. Neither did indigenous forms of peacemaking fit the conception of modernization and development of the new ruling elites who inherited the postcolonial state. The new profession of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), which emerged in the West as a new profession during the 1970s, neglected the tradition and practice of indigenous forms of peacemaking. The scant literature which has appeared on this critical subject tends to focus on the ritual aspect of the indigenous practices of peacemaking. The goal of this book is to fill this lacuna in scholarship. More specifically, this work focuses on the process of peacemaking, exploring the major steps of process of peacemaking which the peacemakers follow in dislodging antagonists from the stage of hostile confrontation to peaceful resolution of disputes and eventual reconciliation. The book commences with a critique of ADR for neglecting indigenous processes of peacemaking and then utilizes case studies from different communities around the world to focus on the following major themes: the basic structure of peacemaking process; change and continuity in the traditions of peacemaking; the role of indigenous women in peacemaking; the nature of the tools peacemakers deploy; common features found in indigenous processes of peacemaking; and the overarching goals of peacemaking activities in indigenous communities. |
