A membership drive was launched based on Abraham Maslow's informal mailing list, the Eupsychian Network. Founding members of the society include, among others, Charlotte Buhler, Sidney Jourard, Abraham Maslow, Rollo May, Clark Moustakas, Lewis Mumford, Carl Rogers. Annual meetings have been held since 1963. AHP "seeks to meet the needs of those whose thought and work express a humanistic orientation.
