1 Presented by SUJAN KUMAR DAS

2  When war broke out in the 1960s, the world felt compelled to better understand the nature of humanity.

3  Name : Abraham Maslow(1908–1970)  AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR  UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, PhD, 1934

4 Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs – a humanistic psychological approach.

5  The present is the most significant aspect of someone. As a results humanists emphasize the here and now instead of examining the past or attempting to predict the future.  To be mentally healthy, individuals must take personal responsibility for their actions, regardless if those actions are positive or negative.

6  Every person is inherently worthy. Any negative actions do not cancel out their value as a person.  The ultimate goal of living is to attain personal growth and understanding. Through constant self-improvement and self-understanding can an individual ever be truly happy.

8  First four needs are called “deficiency needs” or “D- needs” : individual don’t feel anything if they are met, but anxious if they are not met.  Beyond “D-needs” is “growth needs” or “B- needs”. The needs when fulfilled they don’t go away, rather they motivate further.

9 In his book, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature Maslow has described eight ways in which individuals self-actualize. The Farther Reaches of Human Nature 1. Concentration 2. Growth Choices 3. Self-awareness 4. Honesty 5. Judgment 6. Self-development 7. Peak Experiences 8. Lack of Ego Defenses

10  The humanistic theory integrate with other schools of thought. A number of therapists adopt humanistic undertones when working with their clients.

11  As per Maslow very few people can attain self actualization level. It does not sound like a science to many people.  Humanistic theory focus on the positive, instead of negative. This leaves very few tests upon which to build the case of Humanism.  Humanistic theory is unable to help people with severe personality or mental health disorders.

12  It presupposes that people, once having reached a level of economic security, strive for a life steeped in values.  Expecting to be well paid, generation also believes they are entitled to a job "that fun, a job that's cool, a job that lets them discover who they really are." Work is not about paying the rent anymore - it's about self-fulfillment.

13 THANK YOU
