Humanistic psychology focuses on human potential and fulfillment. Gestalt psychology views learning as understanding whole problems and how the environment shapes perception. Abraham Maslow believed humans strive for self-actualization. Carl Rogers developed client-centered therapy where the client, not therapist, guides behavior change. A humanistic curriculum emphasizes personal growth over subjects, meaning over content, and situations over products.
