Descriptive Psychology Institute
Our mission is to create and support communities of practitioners whose practice is significantly informed by Descriptive Psychology.
The Institute consists of Centers, each of which addresses the interests and concerns of a specific group of professional practitioners, and a shared database of resources. To explore a Center, click on its link in the left column.
