THE HUMANISTIC PERSPECTIVE OF PERSONALITY UNIT 5
HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY • In the 1960’s people became sick of Freud’s negativity. • Along came psychologists who wanted to focus on “healthy” people and how to help them strive to “be all that they can be”.
ABRAHAM MASLOW’S SELF ACTUALIZING PERSON • Created the Hierarchy of Needs • Ultimately seek selfactualization – the process of fulfilling our potential • Maslow developed his ideas by studying what he termed “healthy people”.
WHO DID MASLOW STUDY?
SELF-ACTUALIZED PEOPLE -They share certain characteristics: • They are self aware and self accepting • Open and spontaneous • Loving and caring • Not paralyzed by others’ opinions. • They are secure in who they are.
SELF-ACTUALIZED PEOPLE Problem centered rather than self-centered. Focused their energy on a particular task. Few deep relationships, rather than many superficial ones.
SELF-ACTUALIZATION • These are the qualities that make up a mature adult. • These people have found their calling in life.
TABLE TALK • What are the key characteristics of a self-actualized person? • Name a few other celebrities that you believe have reached selfactualization. –Why them?
CARL ROGERS’S PERSON-CENTERED PERSPECTIVE • People are basically GOOD. • We are like Acorns -Need Water, Sun and Nutrients to Grow into a big Oak Tree. We need genuineness, acceptance and empathy for us to mature.
GENUINENESS • Being open with your own feelings. • Dropping your facade. • Being transparent and self-disclosing.
ACCEPTANCE • Unconditional Positive Regard: - An attitude of acceptance regardless of circumstances. - Accepting yourself or others completely.
EMPATHY • Listening, sharing, understanding and mirroring feelings and reflecting their meanings.
SELF-CONCEPT • All of thoughts and feelings about ourselves trying to answer the question…. …WHO AM I?
SELF-CONCEPT • Both Rogers and Maslow believed that your self-concept is at the center of your personality. • If our self concept is positive…. - We tend to act and perceive the world positively. • If our self-concept is negative…. - We fall short of our “ideal self” and feel dissatisfied and unhappy
