Study Notes
Humanistic Psychology
- Focuses on achieving maximum potential through self-actualization.
- Encourages understanding of personal development and goals.
Self-Actualization
- Continuous journey to reach full potential.
- Assumes humans are inherently good or neutral.
- Healthy development requires societal encouragement towards individual uniqueness.
- Lack of resources and creative restrictions from society can lead to neurosis.

Humanistic Biology
- Ethical framework guiding individuals towards self-realization.
- Assumes fundamental goodness of human nature.
- Requires favorable social conditions to aid in self-realization.
Hierarchy of Human Needs
- Consists of two major categories: deficiency (basic) needs and growth (meta) needs.
- Needs must be satisfied in a specific order to progress to self-actualization.
Basic Needs
- Critical for survival, including food, water, and shelter.
- More pressing than growth needs; must be prioritized in development.
Meta Needs
- Arise after basic needs are fulfilled.
- Not structured in a hierarchy; equally important and interchangeable.
Levels of the Hierarchy
- Physiological needs: essentials for survival like food, water, and sleep.
- Safety needs: desire for a secure environment, free from fear and chaos.
- Belongingness and love: need for love and acceptance, encompassing D-love (deficiency love) and B-love (being love).
- Esteem needs: desire for respect and recognition, divided into self-esteem and esteem by others.
- Self-actualization: growth need that emerges after fulfilling basic and esteem needs.
Types of Love
- D-love: selfish love, focused on receiving love.
- B-love: mature love, emphasizes giving love to others.
Esteem Needs
- Includes self-esteem (self-respect based on personal competence) and esteem from others (recognition from society).
Growth Needs
- Comprise aesthetic needs (appreciating beauty), cognitive needs (desire to learn), and neurotic needs (linked to mental health issues).
- These needs hold equal value and are not ranked hierarchically.
Jonah Complex
- Fear of reaching self-actualization may prevent individuals from achieving their potential.
