Thus, “You” and “I” become “We.” The plural mode occurs when an individual interacts with others. The dual mode occurs when two people unite in feeling for each other. According to Binswanger, the single mode is the individual who chooses to live within himself, the loner. The various “modes” of being-in-the-world were described by Swiss psychiatrist and early leader of existential psychology Ludwig Binswanger. Rogers stressed that, in the development of an individual’s personality, the person strives for “self-actualization (to become oneself), self-maintenance (to keep on being oneself), and self-enhancement (to transcend the status quo).”įollowing the writings of Jean-Paul Sartre and other existential philosophers, many humanistic psychologists adopted the existential view of the importance of being and the meaning of life. This perception affects their personality and leads them to direct their behaviour to satisfy the needs of the total self. In the “personal construct” theory of American psychologist George Kelly and the “self-centred” theory of American psychotherapist Carl Rogers, individuals are said to perceive the world according to their own experiences. The concept of the self is a central focal point for most humanistic psychologists. People reaching self-actualization will have fully realized their potential. Only when the more primitive needs are met can the individual progress to higher levels in the hierarchy. The American psychologist Abraham Maslow, considered one of the leading architects of humanistic psychology, proposed a hierarchy of needs or drives in order of decreasing priority or potency but increasing sophistication: physiological needs, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization. The humanist is concerned with the fullest growth of the individual in the areas of love, fulfillment, self-worth, and autonomy. Humanists also take issue with the deterministic orientation of psychoanalysis, which postulates that one’s early experiences and drives determine one’s behaviour. Humanistic psychologists believe that behaviourists are overconcerned with the scientific study and analysis of the actions of people as organisms (to the neglect of basic aspects of people as feeling, thinking individuals) and that too much effort is spent in laboratory research-a practice that quantifies and reduces human behaviour to its elements. Humanistic principles attained application during the “human potential” movement, which became popular in the United States during the 1960s. The movement grew in opposition to the two mainstream 20th-century trends in psychology, behaviourism and psychoanalysis. Humanistic psychology, a movement in psychology supporting the belief that humans, as individuals, are unique beings and should be recognized and treated as such by psychologists and psychiatrists.
