About Us

The University Professors Press was established in 2012 with the mission of publishing books in humanistic and existential psychology; clinical psychology; and creativity studies. We were founded by university professors who are published authors and leaders in the field. Our intent was to begin a publishing company by scholars for scholars. While many of our books are intended for a wider professional and, at times, general audience, we seek to maintain a scholarly sensitivity and understanding with all the books we publish. University Professors Press is owned by the editors and authors who comprise our editorial board. As such, we understand and approach the publishing process from the perspective of authors and scholars.

Random Quote

People have two basic concerns: One is to survive; one is to exist. The former only asks to go on living; the latter asks for meaning. The former concerns itself with how to live, the latter with why to live, the meaning of living.
