“…To fully explicate the social aspects of the mind, I borrow findings from a broader body of literature in the social sciences, all of which employs a social constructionist perspective. In so doing, I join the ongoing scholarly effort to move beyond the individualistic framework of humanistic psychology and expand its ability to address pressing social and political concerns (Hanley & Abell, 2002; Pearson & Podeschi, 1999; Saleem et al, 2019).…”

Unsettled Belongings: Chinese Immigrants’ Mental Health Vulnerability as a Symptom of International Politics in the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unique mental health challenges for Chinese immigrants due to their cultural, social, and political ties with China, which responded to COVID-19 with controversial measures amid tensions with the Western world. These challenges manifest in three conditions at a time of crisis: racism that associates overseas Chinese with the coronavirus, Chinese immigrants’ “double unbelonging” with regard to both host societies and China, and social disapproval of political criticism among overseas Chinese. This article examines these three conditions by drawing on ethnography conducted in Canada as well as international online media. It uses theories in humanistic psychology, existential psychology, and hermeneutics to explain how, for Chinese immigrants, international political tensions are implicated in a range of mental health–related phenomena including identity, belonging, self-consciousness, shame, depression, and agency. Meanwhile, it offers theoretical discussions of how to make humanistic psychology more capable of addressing social and political issues.

“…Classical humanism is no longer relevant in the modern model of the scientific picture of the world. Neohumanism (Sarracino & O"Connor, 2021), radical humanism (Saleem, Morrill, & Karter, 2019), posthumanism (Evans, 2015), and transhumanism (Manzocco, 2019) are gradually playing a dominant role. These elements of the humanist paradigm are relevant in the public consciousness because they neither exclude nor deny the importance of an information technology society.…”

Modern socio-philosophical discourse is in a state of humanistic reorientation. Hence, the subject of scientific exploration is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of humanistic principles of the scientific picture of the world. The research aims to develop the constants of humanism, which constitute a humanistically oriented sociocultural space. The result of the work is the illumination of the interaction of fundamental humanistic aspects of responsibility, activity, creativity, and self-organization. Humanism differs significantly from its previous versions in its modern socio-philosophical interpretation. First of all, it deals with the realities of modern human civilization, balancing between dialectical confrontation and synergetic combination. This is how the methodological basis of the humanities-science discourse is formed, which increasingly gravitates toward a philosophical-synergetic manifestation. Philosophy and science of the present interpret the human being not only in the classical natural science or humanities perspective. The dichotomy of transdisciplinarity (which generates diversity) and anthropocentrism (which is grounded in the supremacy of the human being) is relevant today. Humanistic orientation acts as a regulator for the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, in which moral and spiritual values are lost. Thus, the humanistic paradigm forms the methodological guidelines for the social cluster.

“…This epistemological reconciliation accentuates already-existing ideas found within a liberation psychology ethos of psychotherapeutic accompaniment and social change (Watkins, 2015). Indeed, such considerations show promise of embodying calls for the intersection of humanistic and multicultural psychology toward critical consciousness and systemic change (Comas-Diaz, 2012; Hoffman et al, 2019; Saleem et al, 2019).…”

This introduction describes an original collection of articles that advance Existential-Humanistic (EH) psychology in a project of collective meaning-making during the COVID-19 pandemic. From contributions that apply terror management theory to political and ideological division, to those that intricately examine concepts of the self and radical emotional dwelling in psychotherapy, this issue spans a wide range of topics relevant to EH scholars and beyond. This special issue also explores phenomenological questions. The articles within not only reconfigure ways to be that align with humanistic commitments, but challenge readers to examine the social systems that shape these possibilities. For this reason, this introduction connects the applications of EH psychology included in this issue to other disciplines that have intimately analyzed subjectivities related to existential reckoning, injustice, and liberation.
