- foundation for personal development

THE 2 PROPONENTS OF HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY:


Abraham Maslow- 5 stages of human development
based on a hierarchy of needs, peaking in what he
termed as “self-actualization,”
Carl Rogers- “the individual has within himself the
capacity and the tendency, latent if not evident, to
move forward toward maturity
MASLOW’S HIERARCHY

• progress is often disrupted by failure to meet


lower level needs
• Life experiences= fluctuate between levels of the
hierarchy.
• not everyone will move through the hierarchy in a
uni-directional manner.
• In Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, where do
you find yourself? What do you have to do
to fulfill your needs so that you can move
closer towards self-actualization?
Carl Rogers’ Personality Theory
feelings of self-worth = self-actualization
• high self-worth =confidence and positive feelings about him
or herself, faces challenges, accepts failure and unhappiness
at times; open with people.
• low self-worth =avoid challenges, not accept that life can be
painful and unhappy at times ; defensive
Positive regard= feel valued, respected, treated with affection &
loved
• Unconditional positive regard
• Conditional positive
 constantly seeks approval.
• How is personal development linked to
psychology?
• How can positive Psychology help you
become happier?
