9. After psychoanalysis , behaviorism was also on the rise. Neither school fully acknowledged qualities of human potential. His field Humanism is also called Third Force in psychology after psychoanalysis and behaviorism.

10. ABRAHAM MASLOW Being a humanist, he argued about the right to chose how to behave. Everyone has the inner resources necessary for growth and self healing. The goal of humanism is to remove barriers to the client’s use of inner resources.

11. ABRAHAM MASLOW THEORY People have a number of basic needs that must be met before people move up the hierarchy to pursue more social, emotional, and self-actualizing needs.

12. Hierarchy of needs Proposed that human beings have certain needs in common and that these needs must be met in a certain order. Needs range from most basic psychological need for survival to higher level self actualization and transcendence needs. Each layer must be fulfilled before moving up the pyramid to higher needs.

13. Hierarchy of needs PHSIOLOGICAL NEEDS Breathing, food, water, air, excretion. SAFETY Security of body, employement , health, property. LOVE/ BELONGINGS Friendship, family, love ESTEEM respect of others , self esteem, confidence, achievement SELF ACTUALIZATION Morality, creativity , spontaneity, problem solving, acceptance of facts.

14. Hierarchy of needs The first four levels are considered “deficiency needs.” If we are lacking in any of these levels, we can become distracted, anxious, or depressed. If all of those needs are met, we are free to explore our “growth needs” or our uniquely human need to grow as an individual.

15. SELF-ACTUALIZATION Self-actualization It is actually considered quite rare, which means that peak experiences can be equally elusive. Not all people reach the peak of Maslow's pyramid . It is a desire to “ become everything that one is capable of becoming .” We can examine the sum of our efforts and decide what really gives us a sense of fulfillment . At this level, it’s possible to realize one’s life purpose

16. Worked with monkeys Maslow experimented on dominance of monkeys: “some needs take precedence over others.” Eg : if you are hungry and thirsty, you will tend to take care of your thirst first, because you can live without food for few days but can not live without water for couple of days. If you are very thirsty and someone put a choke hold on you, you can’t breath, than the need of breath is more important than thirst.

17. MASLOW’S HAMMER Maslow, in his book, said that “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail” “If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail” People perceive all problems in a self-centered ways.

18. Law of instrument The law of instrument says that we judge what's in front of us with the tool we have . The law proposes that we treat the same object differently depending on if we hold a scale or a ruler in our hands. Similarly , when a group of people experience an event, there are numerous, unique perceptions made.
