During [T]he 1970s and 80s, the ideas and values of humanistic psychology spread into many areas of society in the United States. As a result humanistic psychology is no longer "Humanistic Psychology". It is, of course, still represented by the Association for Humanistic Psychology and the Journal of Humanistic Psychology , as well as APA Division 32, the Division of Humanistic Psychology. However, it is ... represented in a variety of APA divisions concerned with psychotherapy and issues of social concern. And it is in Transpersonal Psychology (Association for Transpersonal, Journal of Transpersonal Psychology, New Age, East-West, the Consciousness Movement, Noetic Sciences); the Growth Center and Human Potential Movements; the Self-Esteem and Addiction Recovery Movements; Family Therapy, Holistic Health and Hospice, and Organizational Development and Organization Transformation. It is philosophically aligned with the post-modern philosophy of science, constructivist epistemology, structuralism, and deconstructionism.

The influence of humanistic psychology on the field of psychology in China is very small, and it can hardly be used in any formal research project. There were two major reasons: First, from 1949 to befor the Cultural Revolution, China's psychology had been greatly influenced by that of the former Soviet Union. Pavlov's theories had been one-sidedly emphasized. Around the Cultural Revolution psychology research was allowed to resume, it emphasized experimental behaviorism. Second ,in China, due to the long domination of the Left trend on the academic field ,humanitarianism had been criticized. It had been regarded as the "bourgeois theory of human nature," "revisionism," and so on. Researchers sere all afraid of being suspected of going in for "liberalization." At the Department of Psychology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences ,Lin Fang was the only person to take humanistic psychology as his major.

The humanistic psychology in the USA comes to its blossom in the late 1960s- early 1970s. In 1971 Stanley Creepner made his speech at the Academy of sciences in USSR. In his report he mentioned common with Soviet psychology points of view and methods of exploration of consciousness and human creative possibilities. In 11972 he visited Moscow again together with the members of AHP.
