  • HUMANIST APPROACH
    • humans have free will
      • self determin-ing of our behaviour
      • challenge
      • face validity
        • positive approach - healthy growth
    • Maslow's hierarchy of needs
      • potential to self actualise (rare)
        • all deficien-cy needs must be met first
        • innate ability - slightly determi-ned
      • practical applications
        • across subjects e.g. business models
      • physical needs
        • safety + security
          • love + belonging-ness
            • self-esteem
              • self-actualisa-tion
    • self + congruence
      • practical application
        • rogerian therapy
          • client centred
          • to close incongruence gap by giving UPR
            • have not received uncondi-tional positive regard in childhood
      • congru-ent = smaller gap between actual and ideal self
      • incongru-ent = limited similarity [overlap] between actual and ideal self
        • cannot reach self-actualisa-tion
          • have not received uncondi-tional positive regard in childhood
      • Q-sort
        • flaws with this measure
    • psycholog-ical growth focus
      • person centred - individual + unique
      • third force - similar time to psycho dynamic and behaviour-ist
        • challenge
        • challenge behaviour-ist approach
    • recognise other influen-ces on behaviour
      • BUT despite these, we have free will to choose behaviour - overcoming psych barriers
    • research methods: non-scienntific
      • why? humans are individual / unique so no general laws of behaviour
      • e.g. case studies - subject-ive
      • lacks generalis-ability - qualitat-ive data
      • challenge behaviour-ist approach
      • holistic
