A Warm Welcome To You!
Welcome to the website of the Intrapsychic Humanism Society. We invite you to attend our next program featured here.
Intrapsychic Humanism
Intrapsychic Humanism is a theory about our innate motive and need for personal meaning. This personal meaning relates to knowing we are personally cared for and unconditionally worthy, in and of ourselves.
The theory of Intrapsychic Humanism describes how this personal meaning develops within the parenting relationship in identifiable stages from infancy through early adulthood. When this personal meaning is fully developed it conveys a stable certainty and inner well-being that supports self-caretaking choices in creating happy and fulfilling lives.
Inner Humanism® Psychotherapy
Intrapsychic Humanism also provides a theory about how and why this need and motive for personal meaning can develop in a distorted, unstable form that gives rise to psychological pain and behavioral and relationship dysfunction. The theory entails a psychotherapy approach, Inner Humanism that works through the therapeutic relationship in facilitating the development of increasingly stable personal meaning and constructive interpersonal functioning.
Intrapsychic Humanism Society
The Intrapsychic Humanism Society is a membership organization that offers learning opportunities to promote the application of these groundbreaking principles in both our professional and personal lives.

“Using the Therapeutic Relationship to Build Her Inner Strength, Resistance to Mistreatment, and Pursuit of Mutually Caring Relationships” |
Carla Beatrici, Psy.D., Marian Sharkey, Ph.D., Tamara Garrity, Psy.D., and Michael Zakalik, Psy.D.
Experienced psychotherapists will discuss the impact negative gender related messages can have on female teens and adults. Using clinical material from teen and adult cases, the presenters will describe how the therapeutic relationship can strengthen and stabilize genuine, internalized self-worth, constructive self-caretaking, and pursuit of mutually caring interpersonal relationships. The presenters will include how to help females within the therapeutic relationship develop their own minds, take themselves seriously, care for themselves while also caring for others, use their voices to share losses and mistreatment in relationships, stand up for themselves, and turn away from relationships that are harmful to them. They will address how male therapists can think about their roles, and how to help parents provide accurate caregiving responses that foster genuine self-worth. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion with audience participants.
