Abraham maslow (see model in book: there is now a 6th level (not in book) which is self-transcendence, this is the highest level, not self-actualization. Carl rogers: believed that humans strive for self-actualization and that frustration toward this goal could lead to mental problems such as depression, unconditional positive regard and client-centered therapy, client-centered therapy created an environment where a client feels. Strengths: focuses on human choice and growth, emphasizes client responsibility in recovery.

Focuses on internal factors (i. e. , cognitions) and external factors (behaviors) Behavioral perspective on mental disorders is based on the assumption that behavior is learned.
