Document Summary

How humans make healthy choices that create their personalities. Humanistic psychologists emphasized a positive, optimistic view of human nature that highlights people"s inherent goodness and their potential for personal growth. Existentialist psychologists focused on the individual as a responsible agent who is free to create and live his or her life while negotiating the issue of meaning and the reality of death. Humanistic-existential approach integrates these insights with a focus on how a personality can become optimal. Self-actualizing tendency is the human motive toward realizing our inner potential (ie: creativity, spiritual enlightenment). Hierarchy of needs is a model of essential human needs arranged according to their priority, in which basic physiological and safety needs must be satisfied before a person can afford to focus on higher level psychological needs. Self-actualization is the need to be good, to be fully alive, and to find meaning in life.
