Document Summary
When they are attacked and then escape, they go right back to eating. The freedom to choose what we think about. True or false: all people are basically good. All people are basically good and motivated to work on needs according to a universal hierarchy. Maslow said that you can"t move on to the next level before you achieve the one before. The truth is you probably can, but it"s not easy. How do humanists help people become fully functioning: listen actively, treat client as their own expert (phenomenology) Everybody has their own unique experience: provide a genuine, non-judgmental, caring relationship. Listening and genuinely understanding someone helps people heal: examine discrepancies between the real and ideal selves. Ideals can"t be too ideal: shed conditions of worth. We all walk around with ideas of what makes us worthy and valuable. To examine how we are and change them if we want to.
