Summary
This chapter discusses multicultural humanistic psychology, which is a theoretical foundation that seeks to engage the culturally relative self-actualization processes of the individual and community through the diverse spectrum of multicultural facets, so that wellbeing and social and emotional intelligences flourish. This paradigm synthesizes the strengths of both humanistic psychology and multicultural paradigms to support clinicians and educators in engaging with phenomena in the rapidly changing world. Multicultural humanistic psychology is not about validating Western cultural paradigms so that a new theory can be prepackaged and distributed globally. Rather, it is a way to awaken the potential of consilience, to recognize and transcend limitations, and acknowledge that together the fields are more relevant to global challenges. This paradigm guides the further discussions on social and emotional intelligences.
