WHEN INDIVIDUAL REACHES TO HIS /HER FULL POTENTIAL ? EXPLAIN SELF ACTUALIZATION ?(HUMANISTIC APPROACH)

Some psychologists at the time disliked psycho dynamic and behaviorist explanations of personality. They felt that these theories ignored the qualities that make humans unique among animals, such as striving for self-determination and self-realization. In the 1950s, some of these psychologists began a school of psychology called Humanism.


Humanistic psychologists try to see people’s lives as those people would see them. They tend to have an optimistic perspective on human nature. They focus on the ability of human beings to think consciously and rationally, to control their biological urges, and to achieve their full potential. In the humanistic view, people are responsible for their lives and actions and have the freedom and will to change their attitudes and behavior.

Two psychologists, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, became well known for their humanistic theories.

Abraham Maslow’s Theory
The highest rung on Abraham Maslow’s ladder of human motives is the need for Self-Actualization. Maslow said that human beings strive for self-actualization, or realization of their full potential, once they have satisfied their more basic needs.


Self-actualization, in psychology, a concept regarding the process by which an individual reaches his or her full potential. ... In addition, his theory asserts that the drive to self-actualize will only emerge as a motivator once a variety of more basic needs are met.

Man needs positive environment and  supporting surroundings to perform his/her maximum in their works.

Unconditional Positive Regard
Unconditional positive regard is where parents, significant others (and the humanist therapist) accepts and loves the person for what he or she is. Positive regard is not withdrawn if the person does something wrong or makes a mistake.

Practicing unconditional positive regard means accepting and respecting others as they are without judgment or evaluation.unconditional positive environment is mainly using for client therapy.

Thorough this humanistic approach we can understand that positive environment may help person to develop a good personality.
