Descriptions of specific programs which illustrate the humanistic approach in the field of public policy accompany this review of the contrasts regarding psychological and epistemological assumptions between conventional and humanistic policy paradigms. |
| Abstract:
|
The humanistic policymaking approach presupposes a self-actualizing model of human nature and a complementary relationship between empirical and experiential ways of knowing. A humanistic approach emphasizes the ways in which police support and control functions may be integrated. Crisis intervention training, sensitivity training for recruits, and neighborhood team policing all provide such integration as well as a balance between objectified training and experiential learning techniques. Necessary to such an approach is a philosophy which recognizes the complementary, synergistic relationship between the needs of the individual and those of the organization. 75 references |
