The Journal of Humanistic Counseling (JHC)

The Journal of Humanistic Counseling is a peer‑reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing scholarship and practice in humanistic counseling, humanistic psychology, and experiential‑developmental approaches to counseling. It is the official journal of the Association for Humanistic Counseling (AHC), a division of the American Counseling Association (ACA), and is published on behalf of AHC by Wiley‑Blackwell. The journal publishes work that explores how humanistic, existential, and phenomenological perspectives inform counseling theory, practice, training, and outcomes. Typical content includes original research articles, conceptual and theoretical papers, practice‑oriented case studies, qualitative and quantitative research, philosophical and conceptual inquiry, and critical reviews that highlight human dignity, diversity, inclusivity, and ethical engagement in counseling. Its articles support the growth of practitioners and educators by emphasizing humanistic values such as authenticity, person‑centered care, meaning‑making, and interpersonal connection. The journal also focuses on issues related to training and supervision in counseling, addressing multicultural and socially just approaches that reflect contemporary professional concerns. Issues are released three times per year, providing a forum for timely scholarly communication in a field where reflective, human‑centered practice intersects with evolving psychological research and counseling interventions. As a longstanding publication evolving from earlier titles dating back to the 1960s, the journal has a deep history of contributing to theoretical and practice‑based conversations in counseling psychology and humanistic psychology.
