Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of Needs

The Basics Maslow attempted to graphically characterize psychological health with his Hierarchy of Needs. This is a very rudimentary explanation of the state of humanity. Essentially it was sick vs. normal. According to Maslow's idea you cannot move up on the pyramid until your lower level need is met. You will go up and down on this pyramid throughout your life. It is not static.

The Hierarchy of Needs Healthy Neurotic Psychotic The mark of a healthy person is to stand up against the group based on your perceptions.

*-The First four steps are normal *-The first four steps deal with a deficiency motivation *-The last one. . . actually two deal with a growth motivation

There a few disagreements about this theory.
