Humanistic psychology focuses on human potential and self-actualization. Abraham Maslow developed humanistic psychology and theories like hierarchy of needs and self-actualization. Maslow believed people are innately good and strive to reach their full potential. His hierarchy of needs explains how basic needs must be met before higher-level growth needs. Self-actualized people experience peak experiences and are driven by meta-motivations beyond just fulfilling needs. However, humanistic concepts are difficult to objectively study and measure.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Humanistic Approach to Learning
Humanistic psychology focused on each
individual's potential and stressed the
importance of growth and self-actualization.
The fundamental belief of humanistic
psychology is that people are innately good
and that mental and social problems result
from deviations from this natural tendency.
3. Humanistic Approach to Learning
Some of the major ideas and concepts that emerged as a result of
the humanist movement include an emphasis on things such as:
• Self-concept
• Hierarchy of needs
• Unconditional positive regard
• Free will (do thing by choice, not because of forced to do it)
• Client-centred therapy
• Self-actualization
• Fully-functioning person
• Peak experiences
4. Abraham Maslow (1908-1970)
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His
parents were first generation Jewish immigrants
from Russia who fled from Czarist persecution
in the early 20th century. He graduated from
City College and went to graduate school at the
University of Wisconsin to study psychology.
5. Humanistic Approach to Learning
After World War II, Maslow began to question the way
psychologists had come to their conclusions, and though he
did not completely disagree, he had his own ideas on how to
understand the human mind. He called his new discipline
humanistic psychology. The horrors of World War II, however,
inspired a vision of peace in him and this led to his
groundbreaking psychological studies of self-actualizing
people. While jogging, Maslow suffered a severe heart attack
and died on June 8, 1970 at the age of 62 in Menlo Park,
California.
7. Humanistic Theory of Learning
Maslow's theory of learning highlighted the differences
between experiential knowledge and spectator/scientific
knowledge. Properties of experiential learning include:
• immersion in the experience without awareness of the
flow of time
• transcending time, place, history, and society by being
beyond and unaffected by them
• merging with that which is being experienced
• being innocently receptive, as a child, uncritical
8. Humanistic Theory of Learning
• experience unfolds naturally without striving or effort
• suspending criticism, validation, and evaluation of the
experience
• trusting experience by passively letting it happen; letting go of
preconceived notions
9. Humanistic Psychology
Abraham Maslow wasn't satisfied with the way
things had always been done. He was a
psychologist, but he didn't like the way other
psychologists viewed people. In the first half
of the 20th century, most psychologists
believed one of two things about humans.
10. Humanistic Psychology
Behaviorism
Believed that people's behaviors
were purely determined by rewards
and punishments. They viewed
people as simply the product of
conditioning; that is, if they got
rewarded for doing something,
people would keep doing it over
and over.
Psychoanalysis
Believed that people
were slaves to their
urges. They believed that
subconscious desires
drove our behaviors and
feelings.
11. Humanistic Psychology
Maslow developed humanistic psychology,
which focuses on the potential of people to
become all that they can be. Maslow is largely
considered to be the father of the humanist
movement in psychology.
12. Humanistic Theories of Self-Actualization
Humanistic psychologists believe that every
person has a strong desire to realize his or her
full potential, to reach a level of "self-
actualization". The main point of this new
movement, that reached its peak in 1960s, was
to emphasize the positive potential of human
beings.
13. Humanistic Theories of Self-Actualization
This informed his theory that a person enjoys
"peak experiences", high points in life when
the individual is in harmony with himself and
his surroundings. In Maslow's view, self-
actualized people can have many peak
experiences throughout a day while others
have those experiences less frequently.
14. Qualities of Self-Actualizing People
Maslow noticed that self-actualized individuals had a
better insight of reality, deeply accepted themselves,
others and the world, and also had faced many problems
and were known to be impulsive people. These self-
actualized individuals were very independent and private
when it came to their environment and culture, especially
their very own individual development on "potentialities
and inner resources".
15. Dynamics of Self-Actualization
Maslow argued, the way in which essential needs are
fulfilled is just as important as the needs themselves. To
the extent a person finds cooperative social fulfilment
when he establishes meaningful relationships with other
people and the larger world. In other words, when he
establishes meaningful connections to an external reality.
In contrast, to the extent that vital needs find selfish and
competitive fulfilment, a person acquires hostile
emotions and limited external relationships - his
awareness remains internal and limited.
16. Methodology
Maslow based his study on the writings of
other psychologists, Albert Einstein, Ruth
Benedict, Max Wertheimer and people he
knew who clearly met the standard of self-
actualization. Maslow used Einstein's writings
and accomplishments to exemplify the
characteristics of the self- actualized person.
17. Methodology
Nevertheless, from a scientific perspective there are
numerous problems with this particular approach. First, it
could be argued that biographical analysis as a method is
extremely subjective as it is based entirely on the opinion
of the researcher. Personal opinion is always prone to
bias, which reduces the validity of any data obtained.
Therefore Maslow's operational definition of Self-
actualization must not be blindly accepted as scientific
fact.
18. Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow developed a hierarchy, which is
usually represented as a pyramid or a ladder.
On the bottom are the needs that must be
fulfilled first. As you move up the hierarchy,
the needs become less and less about survival
and more about becoming the best 'you'
possible.
19. Hierarchy of Needs
• Physical needs, which are those that involve base
biological or physiological needs. These are things like
food, water, and shelter.
• Safety needs involve things like protection from the
elements, security, law, and stability.
• Social needs fulfil the urge for love and belonging. This
can come from romantic relationships or from
friendships, family, or work groups.
20. Hierarchy of Needs
• Esteem needs are related to your sense of self-
worth. They include things like self-esteem,
achievement, and prestige.
• Self-actualization needs, which are at the top of
the hierarchy, focus on realizing your full potential.
People who are working towards meeting these
needs are looking for self-fulfilment and personal
growth.
22. Principles Behind Humanistic Psychology
1. Someone's present functioning is their most
significant aspect. As a result humanists emphasize
the here and now instead of examining the past or
attempting to predict the future.
2. To be mentally healthy, individuals must take
personal responsibility for their actions, regardless
of whether the actions are positive or negative.
23. Principles Behind Humanistic Psychology
3. Each person, simply by being, is inherently worthy.
While any given action may be negative, these actions
do not cancel out the value of a person.
4. The ultimate goal of living is to attain personal
growth and understanding. Only through constant
self-improvement and self-understanding can an
individual ever be truly happy.
24. Peak Experiences
Beyond the routine of needs fulfilment, Maslow
envisioned moments of extraordinary experience,
known as Peak experiences, which are profound
moments of love, understanding, happiness, or
rapture, during which a person feels more whole,
alive, self-sufficient and yet a part of the world,
more aware of truth, justice, harmony, goodness,
and so on.
25. Peak Experiences
Self-actualizing people have many such
peak experiences. In other words, these
“peak experiences” or states of flow are
the reflections of the realization of one’s
human potential and represent the height
of personality development.
26. Meta-Motivation
Maslow used the term meta-motivation
to describe self-actualized people who
are driven by innate forces beyond their
basic needs, so that they may explore and
reach their full human potential.
27. Conclusion
Humanistic psychology is often seen as too subjective; the
importance of individual experience makes it difficult to
objectively study and measure humanistic phenomena. How
can we objectively tell if someone is self-actualized? The
answer, of course, is that we cannot. We can only rely upon
the individual's own assessment of their experience.
Another major criticism is that observations are unverifiable;
there is no accurate way to measure or quantify these
qualities.
