Humanism: the old psychoanalytic theory in which everything humans do are based on their inner dark unconsciousness. Behaviorism sees humans as neutral, we aren"t good nor evil, we"re simply what we have learned to be (operant conditioning): humanism sees it differently from both of the views above. It has an optimistic view of the person as inherently good. all of us come into the world with potentials, and we"re designed to realize these potentials. views the human being as rational, purposeful, and autonomous, capable of creativity and experiencing deep and profound insights into reality.
