Today, I'm
going to write about an expert in my field (that is, Psychology): Abraham
Maslow.
Maslow was
an American psychologist, and is known for was one of the mains exponents of
the Humanist Psychology, a school of thought located between the paradigm of
the behaviourism and paradigm of the psychoanalysis. This school postulate that
the human being haves a basic tendency for search the mental health, through a
series of process in the life, like the self-fulfilment, the self-knowledge,
and the consciousness of the own potentialities.
In first
place, Maslow is famous for was one of the "fathers" or fundadors of
the Humanist Psychology, and investigate in this school that I described
earlier in the text.
Secondly,
his theoretical development more famous is the pyramid of the necessities. This
pyramid postulate a hierarchy of the necessities of the human being.
His
importance nowdays, in broad strokes, it's all the legacy about this paradigm
located between the paradigm of the behaviourism and paradigm of the
psychoanalysis. Besides, one of the contributions that more I like, it's his
perspective about the creative personality, that in addition, includes a small
critique about the actually education.
I found out
about him because in one of our courses I learn about the Humanist Psychology,
and naturally, about one of the fathers of this school: Maslow.
ResponderEliminarIt seems to me that the human being is very honorable in the name of his humanist perspective, but what retractors exist around his perspective? During the theory courses I had, I've always heard bad reviews of behaviorism, but may be related perhaps with the typical fights between humanistic sciences jaja
