An Introduction to Maslow's Theoretical Concepts

Introduction

The theorist, I decided to write about is Abraham Maslow, born in 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. He was the first of seven children born to parents of Jewish immigrants from Russia. His parents, hoping for the best for their children in a new light, pushed him hard for academic success (Unknown, 1995). He was a psychologist, which many people consider the founder of humanistic psychology.

Movement is designed as a rebellion against Behaviorism and psychoanalysis, the two most popular psychological point of view of mid-1900.

Every day you must respect for others, to show that would even status of glory, fame, recognition, reputation, gratitude, dominance must know. The highest form of self-evaluation, requires a feeling like trust, competence and performance, excellence, independence and freedom. This form of "high" because in contrast to the other as soon as we have self-respect, is much more difficult to lose(Allen, 2000).

Deficit of Needs

Negative version of these requirements is low self-esteem and poor. Maslow argued that Adler was right when he said were in the roots of our psychological difficulties. In today's society, many of us for our physiological needs, and security. Sometimes we appropriate love and a sense of belonging. This connection that often seems hard to get!
