MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS A clinical psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed one influence approach, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in 1943. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a method of classifying human needs and motivations into five categories in ascending importance: psychological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization. As a person fulfill one need, a higher level need becomes more important. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and the need for self-actualization at the top. Steere, B. F. (1988). The lowest level of the pyramid was the most basic needs; the most complex need was located at the top of the pyramid: Based on Maslow, people must fulfill the lower-level of needs before processing on to meet the higher-level of needs. The need of level 1-4 is identify as deficiency needs, which means these needs arise from deprivation. Maslow proposed the highest level, self-actualization as growth need; people reach their maximum potential as a human being. Maslow proposed individual are motivated to achieve lower-level needs, for example hungry and...

...Abraham Maslow Maslow thought that people are driven to accomplish specific goals. Once a goal is met the person will then move onto the next goal. He developed the hierarchy of needs which included five motivational needs. The five stages can be separated into the basic needs of a person and also their growth needs. Maslow thought that basic needs are met to motivate people and empower them to go the duration required to meet the goals at hand. He also taught simple things like the longer a person goes without food they will become increasingly hungry. The hierarchy of needs has the levels and was taught to believe that the lower level of needs must be met before going on to higher growth needs. Once the needs have been met fully or the person is satisfied with where they are at they reach self-actualization. It is believed that everyone can reach the point of self-actualization. Maslow thought that even though everyone was capable of reaching that level it is usually disrupted by failure to meet the lower level needs. Maslow also stated that only one in one hundred people become fully self-actualized because our society rewards motivation primarily based on esteem, love, and other social needs. Hoffman, E. (1988).

...Abraham Maslow is a great theory that can describes the woman from the case study. Maslow’s hierarchy explains how the woman stepping stones are needed in order to face and change her feelings of anxiety and panic. The last tear of the pyramid shows the hierarchy ability to express physiological needs. These needs include the need to satisfy hunger and thirst (Stangor, 2010. P. 345). Next on the pyramid is the safety needs. These needs include the need to feel that the world is organized and predictable, the need to feel safe, secure, and stable (Stangor, 2010. P. 345). It seems to me that this would be the place to start while working with the woman in the case study. The client in this study has recently moved to a different state where everything is different and unknowledgeable. She no longer has the safety of her friends and extended family around her to support her. The main goal of this physiological problem to be manageable one would need to find a way to help her feel safe in her new surroundings. Relaxation, watching television, swimming and excising are what a person who suffered from anxiety can use for healing. Once she has overcome her fear of the new environment she can meet and greet friends give parties and get acquainted with individuals who are hungry for love and thirst. She might be more comfortable with her surroundings, and her safety need would be met.Next on the pyramid is love and belonging. This includes the need to love and be loved, to belong...

...The Humanistic Theory of Abraham Maslow Linda Cooper Psychology 210 Abraham Maslow was born April 1, 1908 in Brooklyn New York. Although his parents were uneducated Jewish immigrants from Russia, they pushed him to excel academically. Without the approval of his parents, Maslow married his first cousin Bertha Goodman and they had two daughters. After studying law at the City College of New York, Maslow and his family moved to Wisconsin where both Maslow and Bertha attended the University of Wisconsin. Abraham Maslow received his BA, MA, and his PhD in psychology from the University of Wisconsin. After graduation, Maslow moved back to New York to begin his teaching career at Brooklyn College. During this time Maslow served as the chair of the psychology department with a German-Jewish physician and psychiatrist named Kurt Goldstein. Goldstein was the originator of the idea of self-actualization. Inspired by Kurt Goldstein’s idea of self-actualization, Maslow began his studies on humanistic psychology. Maslow’s influences also included psychologist Harry Harlow, Alfred Adler, Max Wertheimer and anthropologist Ruth Benedict (Soylent Communications, 2012). Abraham Maslow was a psychologist and a humanistic theorist who was well known for his views on human motivation. During his studies on human motivations and humanistic psychology Maslow developed the Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. The hierarchy of needs theory is designed in the form of a pyramid. The pyramid is divided into...

...Abraham Maslow and Nursing Abraham Maslow and Nursing Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has a lot to offer the field of nursing. As a theorist of humanistic psychology, Maslow adopted a more holistic-dynamic approach to the field (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 1998). He was born on April 1, 1908. Growing up as a boy, his relationship with his parents was strained (Emrich, n.d.). He did research on primate behavior at the University of Wisconsin and later served as a faculty member of Brooklyn College and Brandeis University. The Laughlin Foundation made him a resident fellow in 1969. Maslow died of a heart attack on June 8, 1970 (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 1998). The interesting thing about Maslow is that he developed his theories as part of the so-called "Third Force" of psychology: humanistic psychology. This was a response to the prevailing schools of thought at the time (Hall, Lindzey & Campbell, 1998). For him, psychoanalysis and behaviorism provided such negative and mechanistic outlooks of the human person, respectively. Something was needed to provide a more holistic perspective of people in order to balance out the other two approaches. Thus, he became the spiritual father of the humanistic psychology movement and contributed his famous Hierarchy of Needs (Schultz & Schultz, 2000). Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs basically argues that people have an innate tendency to self-actualize—that is to move toward developing...

...Maslow's hierarchy of need Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs motivational model Abraham Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs model in 1940-50s USA, and the Hierarchy of Needs theory remains valid today for understanding human motivation, management training, and personal development. Indeed, Maslow's ideas surrounding the Hierarchy of Needs concerning the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfil their own unique potential are today more relevant than ever. While Maslow referred to various additional aspects of motivation, he expressed the Hierarchy of Needs in these five clear stages. 1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc. 2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc. 3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc. 4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc. 5. Self-Actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often portrayed in the shape of a pyramid with the largest, most fundamental levels of needs at the bottom and the need for self-actualization at the top. While the pyramid has become the de facto way to represent the hierarchy, Maslow himself never used a pyramid to describe...

...who have left their marks both on psychology and on the world at large. But my favorite famous psychologist is Abraham Herold Maslow. I choose Maslow because of his influence in psychology, his humanistic theories and his contributions of our understanding of human behavior. First of all, Abraham Maslow was born in April 1, 1908 at Brooklyn New York. He was the oldest of seven children and was named “mentally unstable” by a psychologist. His parents were first generation Jewish immigrants from Russia who fled from Czarist persecution in the early 20th century. His parents were poor and not intellectually oriented, they value education. Maslow and other young people at the time with his background were struggling to overcome the act of racism and ethnic prejudice. He grew up in a library and among books. It was there that made him developed the love of reading and learning. Maslow went to Boys high school, one of the top high school in Brooklyn, New York. He attended the City college of New York after high school. In 1926 he began taking legal studies classes at night in addition to his undergraduate course load. Maslow continued his education by studying psychology at University of Wisconsin. His psychology training at (UW) were specifically experimental behaviorist. His experience with behaviorism makes him a strong positive mindset person. (Hoffmann p.9). Also, Maslow has influence psychology in so many ways. He has not only influence psychology but also the larger culture in...

...Maslow Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Tatiana Cadle-Taylor Barry University Abraham Maslow founded a movement—that valued individuality, creativity, and personal freedom— called the humanistic movement in the late 1950s. Maslow, born April, 1, 1908 (Abraham Harold Maslow, 2013), was the son of poor Russian-Jewish immigrants who came to the United States in the early 1900s seeking an escape from the Czarist persecution. His parents settled in New York City, where he attended public schools in a multiethnic, working-class neighborhood (Hoffman 2008). Maslow’s youthful experience was extremely typical for those of his background, and they inevitably shaped his worldview. This viewpoint remained vital to Maslow throughout his life. Although Maslow acknowledged his admiration of Freudian psychoanalysis at an early age, his own view of human nature varied greatly from Sigmund Freud's. Maslow thought Freud's theory was unnecessarily pessimistic with respect to our human potential for decency and kindness. He disagreed strongly with Freud's contention that we are essentially selfish beings, with little regard for others (Mullins 2010). Freud's view of human nature portrayed human potential as a fight to keep our instincts in check. Maslow believed that we are capable of becoming fully human through a process of self-actualization (Mullins 2010). Maslow agreed that we do not always show our most fully human side; but Maslow also believed that any of those reactions...

I will also discuss how this theory has influenced my role in society and din the work place, along with my interactions with others. Running Head: Personality Theory Paper 3 Abraham Maslow Abraham Maslow was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1908. He was the oldest of seven children. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia who were uneducated. His parents pushed him hard for academic success. Growing up he became very lonely as a boy and found his interest in reading books (Boeree, 2006). Maslow first studied law at City College of New York (CCNY). After three semesters, he transferred to Cornell and then back to CCNY (Boeree, 2006). After he married, he moved to Wisconsin and attended the University of Wisconsin, where he became interested in psychology (Boeree, 2006). While attending the University of Wisconsin, he met and worked with Harry Harlow who was known for his experiments with baby rhesus monkeys and attachment behavior (Boeree, 2006). Maslow received his B.A. in 1930, his M.A. in 1931 and his PhD in 1934, all in psychology and from the University of Wisconsin (Boeree, 2006).

Indeed, Maslow's ideas surrounding the Hierarchy of Needs concerning the responsibility of employers to provide a workplace environment that encourages and enables employees to fulfil their own unique potential (self-actualization) are today more relevant than ever. Abraham Maslow's book Motivation and Personality, published in 1954 (second edition 1970) introduced the Hierarchy of Needs, and Maslow extended his ideas in other work, notably his later book Toward A Psychology Of Being, a significant and relevant commentary, which has been revised in recent times by Richard Lowry, who is in his own right a leading academic in the field of motivational psychology. Abraham Maslow was born in New York in 1908 and died in 1970, although various publications appear in Maslow's name in later years. Maslow's PhD in psychology in 1934 at the University of Wisconsin formed the basis of his motivational research, initially studying rhesus monkeys. Maslow later moved to New York's Brooklyn College.

...therapy. I will look at the origins of Person-Centred Therapy with emphasis taking place on Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. I will also be explaining the fundamental foundations required for this therapy to be seen as person centred. American psychologist, Abraham Maslow (1908 – 1970), a humanistic psychologist believed that every person has a strong desire to realise and reach their own individual potential and to than reach a level of ‘self-actualisation’. Abraham Maslow was best known for creating Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The theory is based on individuals fulfilling their needs and to move towards ‘self-actualisation’. Abraham Maslow placed much emphasis on focusing on the individual’s positive qualities then treating them or the client being seen as a bag of symptoms. Self-actualisation is the fundamental concept to the Person-Centred Therapy developed my Carl Rogers. Abraham Maslow says all human beings have a tendency to want to move forwards, grow and to reach their full potential. When individuals move towards their true full potential, Maslow suggests this individual is at their highest peak, self-actualisation, this is when the individual focuses on their strengths; they are positive about life and help others. Both Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow believed that all individuals would constantly move towards finding fulfilment of their own true potential. Abraham Maslow, Like Carl Rogers believed that if an individual’s physiological needs (food, warmth,...
