Existential-Humanistic Institute

The Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) was formed as a non-profit organization under the auspices of Pacific Institute in 1997. EHI provides a forum, a "home," for those mental health professionals, scholars, and students who seek in-depth training in existential-humanistic philosophy, practice, and inquiry.
