Abstract
In 1991, the Association for Humanistic Psychology expanded the grassroots efforts of its original United States/Soviet Professional Exchange Program and renamed it the AHP International Professional Program. An independent offshoot of this pioneering effort is the Annual International Conference on Conflict Resolution held in St. Petersburg, Russia. These collaborative U.S./ Russian projects have helped foster a period of unprecedented growth and development in the theory and application of humanistically based practices worldwide. The following article presents a brief history of the conference, a description of its purpose and content, and its impact on AHP as a rapidly emerging international organization.
Achieving our own inner potential and development does not automatically result in a better world to live in. We have to actively put these same humanistic principles to work in the planet.
