Humaniversity Psychology is a synthesis of selected principles from diverse schools of western psychology and eastern existential thought. It is oriented generally toward the holistic psychological growth, development and fulfilment of the human being, and specifically, toward his self-realisation, gained through the experience of self-love, meditative awareness, and the practice of authentic loving friendship with others. It draws in particular from the schools of the human potential movement and integrates elements of Freudian psychoanalysis, learning theory, and the work of Erich Fromm and others on the nature of love. It is significant for the incorporation of the eastern practice of meditation as a means of personal growth, and especially notable for its development of the principles and practice of Social Meditation - an active and socially interactive process in which the participants inner awareness, objectivity, therapeutic recovery, personal growth and social integration are considerably supported.

Humaniversity Therapy is the practical, multi-modal application of highly experiential and holistic expressive, personal, inter-personal and group therapy structures, Social Meditations, and relationship-building processes. It adopts an integrative therapy approach and caters for a multi-symptomatic clientele. It draws from a wide range of therapies including Encounter, Gestalt, Primal, Psychodrama, Bioenergetics, Sex therapy, art and music therapy, and behavioural therapy. It also integrates practices from eastern traditions with a special emphasis on awareness through meditation. It is notable not only for the unique synthesis of these approaches but also for the development of its own unique therapeutic processes including the Social Meditations (in particular the AUM Meditation), Flushing and the Pressure Cooker. Humaniversity Therapy can be administered in most clinical environments but most often occurs in a community therapy environment.

Humaniversity Community is the community environment in which therapeutic treatment, academic tuition and professional training by apprenticeship all take place, in one integrated, and clinically managed process. It combines practices drawn from the principles of therapeutic communities, experiential learning, and Socratic dialogue. Students progress through ever-increasing levels of caretaking and "hands-on" administration of therapeutic processes. By an education based on carefully guided apprenticeship, the Humaniversity aims to develop therapists who are personally and professionally nature, authentic and congruent, and who are practically equipped with all the clinical and inter-personal skills required for a vocation which involves working with people or the administration of therapeutic guidance and treatment.
