Humanistic approach
(Overview)
- Humanistic psychology focuses
on the person
- People (and their problems) cannot be categorised
and modified like machines
- Each person is unique
- They are their own expert ( and
not an expert on anyone else)
- Conditions of worth can distort many
people's concepts of themselves
- Loss of own value
- Loss of sense of worth
- If people have a distorted view then they are likely to develop:
- Psychological issues
- Behavioural issues
- If a client can recognise their own value and inner
worth then they can take control of the problems
they are facing.
- And change their behaviour if needed
- Suggests that as individuals we
need to grow and develop
psychologically
- This is inbuilt (actualising tendency)
- We develop a self-concept based on actualising tendency
- Stresses the idea that each person views life differently
