Characteristics of A Healthy Individual

Characteristics of a healthy individual
Freud-
Id- is the source of instinctive energy; it seeks to maximize pleasure, amoral, and
has no unity of purpose
Ego-when the id is modified by expectations and requirements of the external
world
Superego-grows out of the ego and has capacity to rule it
A healthy individual would have a good balance of the id, ego, and superego, and would
not get fixated in any one of Freuds developmental stages.
Erikson-
Psychosocial stages of development:
1. Trust vs. mistrust- a healthy individual will develop a strong sense of
trust
2. Autonomy vs. shame- a healthy individual will develop autonomy over
shame
3. Initiative vs. guilt- a healthy individual will leave this stage with the
ability to take initiative
4. Industry vs. inferiority- a healthy individual will leave this stage feeling
and being competent
5. Identity vs. role confusion- a healthy individual will go through the
process of identity development
6. Intimacy vs. isolation- a healthy individual will be able to commit to a
meaningful relationship
7. Generativity vs. stagnation- a healthy individual will possess a
responsibility to guide the next generation
8. Ego integrity vs. despair- a healthy individual will be satisfied with
his/her accomplishments and view death as an inevitable end of life.
Covey-
A habit is an intersection of knowledge, skill and desire.
Knowledge- what to do
Skill- how to do
Desire- want to do
Habits provide an incremental, sequential, highly integrated approach to
the development of personal and interpersonal effectiveness.
Maturity Continuum (move down the continuum)
Dependence Independence Interdependence
Habits of Effectiveness (characteristics of a healthy individual)
1. Be proactive- take initiative, as humans we are responsible for
our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our
conditions. We can subordinate feelings and values. We have the
initiative and responsibility to make things happen.
2. Begin with the end in mind- using what is most important to you
as a frame of reference or a context from which you examine the
parts of your life. It is keeping a picture of what is most important
to you. This allows you each day to be and do what really matters
to you. It is based on a principle that all things are created twice.
Mental- 1st creation
Physical- 2nd creation
3. Put first things first- It is exercising independent will toward
becoming principle centered.
4. Think win/win- Having the frame of mind and heart that
constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. In
addition, agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial and
satisfying.
5. Seek first to understand and then to be understood- Prescribe
before you diagnose. Seeking to understand requires consideration,
and seeking to be understood requires courage.
6. Synergize- The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The
essence of synergy is to value difference- to respect it, build on
strengths, and to compensate for weakness.
7. Sharpen the saw- Renewing the four dimensions of your nature
Physical-Mental-Spiritual-Social/Emotional
1. Physical- exercise, nutrition, and stress
management
2. Mental- reading, visualizing, planning, and
writing
3. Spiritual- value clarification, commitment, study
and meditation
4.Social/Emotional- service, empathy, synergy, and
intrinsic security
(The seventh habit surrounds the others because it is the
habit that makes all others possible)
**ITS PRESERVING AND ENHANCING THE
GREATEST ASSET YOU HAVEYOU!!**
Maslow/Rogers
An individual is healthier if all their needs are met.
A healthy individual has clear boundaries.
An individual is considered to be at their healthiest stage when they have
reached self-actualization.
Jean Houston- a characteristic of a healthy individual is the ability to provoke the
potential in others.
My perspective:
A healthy individual is person who is self aware, an effective communicator,
possess coping skills, flexible, adaptable, respectful, and competent.
