In this episode of Depth Dialogues, we're honored to host Dr. Nathaniel Granger, a visionary leader in humanistic psychology and social justice advocacy. As a former president of the APA Division 32 Society for Humanistic Psychology, adjunct professor at Saybrook University, and founder of Be REAL Ministries, Dr. Granger has dedicated his career to empowering marginalized communities through both his therapeutic work and his role as a pastor. Dr. Granger's prolific work includes publications and poetry collections like Stay Awhile: Poetic Narratives on Multiculturalism and Diversity, Silent Screams: Poetic Journeys Through Addiction and Recovery, and Rising Voices: Poems Towards a Social Justice Revolution. His scholarship and creative expressions tackle the complexities of identity, race, trauma, and resilience, offering a unique lens on social healing through humanistic and depth psychological approaches. In our conversation, we dive into Dr. Granger’s journey and discuss how depth psychology principles can inform an inclusive approach to therapy and healing. We explore the power of poetry in fostering social justice, the integration of faith in therapeutic practice, and his insights on leadership in existential therapy. Dr. Granger also shares his thoughts on the mission of the Corps of Depth Healers to mobilize depth psychology in addressing societal crises. Join us for an inspiring discussion on bridging faith, creativity, and psychology to bring about meaningful social change.
