Humanistic Psychology - Part I

What is humanistic psychology actually? It is the psychological perspective which emphasizes on the study of the whole person. Basically, it is a study on ourselves, our innerself to be exact.

The study believes that
  • An individual's behavior is primarily determined by his perception of the world around him.
  • Individuals are not solely the product of their environment.
  • Individuals are internally directed and motivated to fulfill their human potential.
Conclusion: How a person develops and how he/she turns out to be are affected by conscious choices, responses to internal needs and current circumstances.
