Study Notes

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that states that humans are motivated to fulfill their needs in a hierarchical order.
The hierarchy is arranged in a pyramid, with the most basic needs at the bottom and the most advanced needs at the top.
The needs at the bottom of the pyramid must be satisfied before we can move on to the next need.
The order of the needs from bottom to top are as follows:
- Physiological: food, water, health, etc.
- Safety: free from harm, danger, fear, anxiety, etc.
- Love/Belonging: having good relationships with friends, family, and significant others.
- Esteem: achievement, competence, self-respect
- Self-Actualization: fulfillment of inner potential

Carl Roger's Self Theory

Carl Roger's Self Theory states that each person has a few "selves" that differ from each other.
There are three selves:
- The Ideal Self: who the person wishes they were.
- The Self-Image: who the person thinks they are.
- The True Self: who the person really is.
Ideally, a healthy individual accepts who they really are and moves freely towards who they wish to be. This is known as Congruence.
An unhealthy individual rejects who they really are and is dictated by an ideal self that is much too harsh and not something they personally chose. This is known as Incongruence.
Incongruence can occur due to Conditions of Worth, where people learn they must work for love and acceptance. This leads to denial of the True Self.

Humanistic Approach and Processing

The Humanistic approach to psychology emphasizes the importance of the individual's subjective experience and freedom of choice.
Processing questions are designed to encourage individuals to reflect on their personal experiences and beliefs.
The Humanistic approach emphasizes the importance of each individual's unique experiences and how these impact their understanding of the world.
It suggests that our behavior is determined by our individual choices, not by external forces, and that we have the potential for growth and self-actualization.
The Humanistic approach is used in various fields, including education, psychotherapy, and social work, and contributes to our understanding of human behavior and its complexities.

NCOFI - Nature vs Nurture, Conscious vs Unconscious, Observable vs Internal, Free Will vs Determinism, Individual vs Universal

This is a framework used to understand the complexity of human nature.
The Humanistic approach prioritizes the "Individual" within this framework.
The understanding of the Individual is often used in combination with the principles of "Free Will," "Internal," and "Conscious."
The Humanistic approach emphasizes the importance of considering the individual's unique experiences and perspectives.

Love and Relationships

Love is a complex emotion that can arise through proximity and chance.
We often develop love and attraction to those we are closest to physically.
We learn to love ourselves by surrounding ourselves with people who accept us for who we truly are, regardless of our physical appearance or adherence to social expectations.
Learning to accept ourselves for who we are is critical for personal growth and emotional well-being.

Overcoming Failure

Failure is a learning opportunity.
When we experience failure, we should be kind to ourselves, and understand that our brains are capable of adapting and learning from our mistakes.
It is important to not be overly critical of ourselves, but focus on what we can do better in the future.

Creativity

Creativity is a matter of experience.
Our brains are capable of learning and combining experiences to develop novel and creative ideas.
We must expose ourselves to different experiences and ideas to enhance our creative potential.

Empathy and Understanding

Empathy and understanding are essential for nurturing healthy relationships.
Developing empathy allows us to better understand the perspectives of others and offer them support.
A supportive environment allows us to create a safe space for ourselves to explore new ideas and express our true selves.
