In Memory of Tom Greening: A Life of Humble Service to Humanistic Psychology

Tom Greening was an existential-humanistic psychologist who practiced for more than 50-years in the same psychotherapy office where he began working with James F. T. Bugental. He served for 34 years as the editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology. Tom was also a prolific poet with 10 books of poetry, including his final book, Into the Void: An Existential Therapy Faces Death Through Poetry. In this brief article, I reflect on my personal experiences with my friend and colleague, Tom Greening, and highlight some of his most important contributions.
