    unconditional positive regard and Maslow's self-
    actualization.
    Humanistic Perspective
    By the 1960s, psychologists became discontent
    with Freud’s negativity and the mechanistic
    psychology of the behaviorists.

    (1908-1970) (1902-1987)
    Humanistic Personality Theories

    • Humanistic view asserts the fundamental


    goodness of people and their constant striving
    toward higher levels of functioning
    • Does not dwell on past occurrences, but
    rather focuses on the present and future
    Self-Actualizing Person
    Maslow proposed that we as individuals are
    motivated by a hierarchy of needs. Beginning with
    physiological needs, we try to reach the state of self-
    actualization—fulfilling our potential.
    Self Actualization
    • Maslow estimated only 1% of the population reaches this
    • The top of the motivational hierarchy. This makes it the
    weakest of all needs and the most easily impeded.
    • “This inner nature is not strong and overpowering and
    unmistakable like the instincts of animals. It is weak and
    delicate and subtle and easily overcome by habit, cultural
    pressure, and wrong attitudes toward it.” Maslow
    • Jonah Complex (fear of one’s own success)– must be willing
    to sacrifice safety for personal growth.
    • Society?
    • Childhood?
    Carl Rogers
    • Goal of every organism is to
    fulfill the capabilities of our
    genetic blueprint – actualizing
    tendency
    • Human beings form images of
    themselves – called self
    concepts
    • Drive to fulfill self-concepts –
    self actualizing tendency
    Perceived Self vs. Ideal Self

    • Perceived Self
    – In a Stream of consciousness manner . . . .
    Describe yourself

    • Ideal Self
    – In a Stream of consciousness manner . . . how
    would you like to be?
    Perceived Self vs. Ideal Self
    • Did you write the same thing for each prompt?
    • From a humanistic perspective, a fully functioning,
    self-actualized person finds the perceived self as
    completely congruent (in harmony) with the ideal
    self.
    • Rogers suggests that if our self-concept is negative,
    that is, if we fall far short of our ideal self, we feel
    dissatisfied and unhappy. It follows that parents,
    teachers, and friends should help others know,
    accept, and be true to themselves
    Assessing the Self

    In an effort to assess personality, Rogers asked


    people to describe themselves as they would like
    to be (ideal) and as they actually are (real). If the
    two descriptions were close the individual if a
    fully functioning person.

    All of our thoughts and feelings about ourselves, in an answer to


    the question, “Who am I?” refers to Self-Concept.
    How to become fully functioning?
    Early Childhood Matters

    • Unconditional positive reward


    – Full acceptance and love of another regardless of our
    behavior
    • Genuineness
    • Accepting
    • Empathy
    • Conditional positive reward
    – Acceptance and love contingent on certain behaviors
    and fulfilling certain conditions.
    Evaluating the Humanistic Perspective: Looking
    at it critically…
    1. Humanistic psychology has a pervasive impact on
    counseling, education, child-rearing, and
    management.
    2. Concepts in humanistic psychology are vague and
    subjective and lack scientific basis.
    3. Some view these theories as overly optimistic and
    that they ignore the nature of human evil
    4. Some argue that humanistic view lead to self-
    indulgence, narcissism and self-centeredness –
    Western view of hyper-individualism
