Abstract

An evolutionary constructivist approach combining Donald Campbell's selection theory with constructivist theories is discussed as it pertains to four issues typically associated with humanistic approaches to psychology: embodiment, agency, human science, and becoming. Ways in which selection theory informs these four issues by adding a naturalistic approach to the usual humanities-oriented emphasis of humanistic psychology are presented. 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
