When Abraham H. Maslow introduced the world to Humanistic Theory, a ‘third force’ in psychology was born (Behaviorism and u0026 Psychoanalytical theory being the first and second). As the name suggests, humanistic theory concerns itself with characteristics which are distinctly human.Arguably the best known example of such a characteristic is Self-Actualization, an innate motivating force unique to the human species. It was in this landmark publication that Maslow provided the first published representation of Self-Actualization at the pinnicle of a hierarchy of human needs. According to Maslow Self-Actualization refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, in essence to become everything that one is capable of becoming. This classic publication is essential reading for psychology students, educators and professionals.Hierarchy of Needs: A Theory of Human Motivation (Kindle Edition) forms part of an initiative by the website www.all-about-psychology.com to make important, insightful and engaging psychology publications widely available.
