Maslow Freud

Contrasting Abraham Maslow proposes the theory of the Hierarchy of needs. Maslow created a "third choice" which went against Bandura's Social Learning, and Freud's psychoanalysis. Freud, is more scientific, and is the father of Psychoanalysis. Freud did not consider nurture as part of nature. To him, all that inhabits the brain will manifest unconsciously in the individual physiologically. Freud proposed, hypnosis, the famously known psychotherapy, regression, dream work, and self analysis. Very little is given in his theory to the role of nature, support systems and society in the life of an individual.
