Humanistic Approach
  1. maslow's hierarchy of needs
    1. 1. Self actualisation 2.self esteem 3. love and belongingness 4. safety and security 5. physiological needs
      1. Self A won't be possible until all other steps complete
      2. self congruence
        1. Rogers said we won't be able to reach self a unless our ideal self and idea of our actual self are similar
          1. when they meet each other this is congruence
            1. can be achieved by ideal self being lowered or idea of actual self increasing
            2. made difficult by the conditions of worth we have for ourselves
              1. rogers developed client centred therapy (form of counselling) to help patients achieve congruence
                1. this therapy gives patients the unconditional positive regard that they lacked from parents/friend which caused the conditions of woth
              2. free will
                1. rogers and maslow reject other approaches where life is set in stone
                  1. idea that every human has the somewhat ability to control their actions and they are not heavily determined
                    1. humans are active agents
                    2. self actualisation
                      1. reaching ones true potential, humanistic psychologists believe this allows one to feel fulfilled and successful and it is a necessary part of life that anyone can achieve
                      2. evaluation
                        1. culture bias
                          1. humanistic psychology was based in America as a reaction to behaviourism
                            1. it idealises self actualisation which isn't as important in a lot of eastern culture which are very collectivist
                              1. they strive to help each other and work as a team, individual achievement is not as important to them
                                1. a humanistic psychologist may say a lot of their culture are not reaching their full potential and aren't fully developed in their lives, which could be offensive and looking down on them
                          2. positive approach
                            1. the approach involves people determining they own fate and life rather than being determined biologically at birth
                              1. applies to everyone and says that everyone can achieve self a regardless of their past
                                1. optimistic compared to others
                              2. lack of objectivity
                                1. self a isn't easily quantified therefore it lacks falsifiability and is hard to measure in a person
                                  1. not open to empirical testing so lacks reliability
                                  2. not reductionist
                                    1. advocates holism and considers whole person when understanding subjective experience
                                      1. more valid as considers behaviour in real world
