ABRAHAM MASLOW
LOVE AND RESPECT MAY BE CONSIDERED AS EXTERNAL
QUALITIES THAT THE ORGANISM LACKS AND THEREFORE
NEEDS.
SELF-ACUALIZATION IS NOT A LACK IT IS INTRINSIC
GROWTH, OR MORE ACCURATELY IT IS THE ORGANISM
DRIVE TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE.
THE THERAPIST IS SEEN AS CARING, BELIEVING IN THE
PATIENT, AND THAT IN ITSELF APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH
AT TIMES.

• It is possible to see an act express all five
  needs

• These are not exclusive determinants of behavior

4
SELF-ACTUALIZING INDIVIDUALS ARE
SELF-ACCEPTING WITH ALL THEIR SHORTCOMINGS.
THEY ARE PROBLEM CENTERED RATHER THAN EGO-CENTERED
THEY ARE ETHICAL, THEY HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF
MORALS EVEN THOGH THEY ARE OFTEN NOT
CONVENTIONAL ONES.
5
THEY ENJOY THE ACTIVITY FOR THE SAKE OF THE
ACTIVITY ITSELF
THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCEPTION CREATIVE
6
THEY ARE RESISTENT TO ENCULTURALTION
WHILE PERSONAL CONTACT IS SAID TO BE
HIGHLY VALUED IN OUR LIVES, IT IS RARE AND
DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH WITH MOST PEOPLE. IT IS
NOT RARE IN ACTUALIZING PEOPLE.
7
The actualizer trusts in the here and now.
The actualizer doesnt look at life as a game,
but more as a dance.
They emphasis the process of living
They are NOT SUPERHUMAN people. quote
