Abstract Humanistic approach is the power of empathetic understanding of a client. Perspectives from many researchers have formed a cluster of thoughts. Maslow hierarchical theory is the motivation model of achieving self-actualisation. According to studies, research had been done to analysis whether older adults are more prominent towards attainment of self-actualisation.

In relation to that, I agree to the finding that states older adults are more self-actualised compared to the younger ones (Berndt, Kaiser, van Aalst., 1982).
