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

It seems ironic that many will fight hard for political freedom only to give up all of their personal freedoms. They abandon personal freedom to conformity, groupthink, and the tyranny of normalcy. Often, freedom is given up out of devotion to a political party or some other chosen affiliation.
