Abraham Maslow

Abraham Maslow created a diagram to represent a person’s needs. This diagram is used to show a person how “wealthy” they are in a sense of accomplishment and happiness. The first level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is psychological needs; which consist of food, shelter, and water. These are the needs, Maslow believes, that must be satisfied in order to reach any other sort of happiness (such as love and belonging, or self-actualization). In the article called, “The Singer Solution to World…

Humanistic-Existential Psychology and the Healthy Personality Torn. I do not know how else to describe my feelings regarding the humanistic school of thought. On the one hand, the underlying concepts of humanistic psychology excite my inner-hippie. My other hand, however, tends to be more cynical and pessimistic than its counterpart, writing humanism off as an idealistic approach.
