Photo of the program foundersThe Master of Arts in Psychology (MAP) Program in Existential Phenomenological (EP) Psychology began to train therapists in a radically new philosophical healing model in 1981. The art and human science of existential-phenomenological therapy offered a deeply humanistic and experiential relational framework for creating apprenticeships with meaning making in the therapeutic journey for therapist and patient.

The central founders of this new model, George Kunz, Steen Halling, Lane Gerber, Jan Rowe, Kevin Krycka, and Jim Risser, brought forward a vision for a reframing of human suffering from reductive pathology to passage and possibility.
