I'll start by saying I thought humanism a bunch of self-inflating garbage.
I guess I really didn't know that much about it. So from a site I found.
Some basic tenets,
Humanistic psychology begins with the existential assumptions that people have free will:
People are basically good, and have an innate need to make themselves and the world better:
People are motivated to self-actualize:
The subjective, conscious experiences of the individual is most important:
Humanism rejects scientific methodology:
Humanism rejected comparative psychology (the study of animals) because it does not tell us anything about the unique properties of human beings:

Can't really say there's anything here I'd disagree with so maybe I ought to reevaluate my previous opinion.
