History

Eleanor Criswell, along with Rollo May, Clark Moustakas, and James Bugental, founded the Humanistic Psychology Institute at California State University, Sonoma in 1971. Under the leadership of Eleanor Criswell and Thomas Hanna the school began offering graduate courses in humanistic psychology.

Later on it was renamed the Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center.

Author Michael Mayer recalls that the Saybrook name derives from Saybrook, Connecticut, where during a conference in 1964 several psychologists, including May, expressed a desire "to create a school that embodied the values of the 'human growth and potential movement' and to educate practitioner-scholars in the methods and philosophies of human-centered psychotherapy". In 2009, the school was renamed Saybrook University. The university became affiliated with the shared services organization TCS Education System in 2014 to provide administrative and financial services, so that the school could focus on teaching and research. The same year, the school moved from San Francisco to Oakland, California.
