The 20th century has made a breakthrough in philosophy, psychiatry and psychology and has provided a number of foundations for human understanding of the existence of humans. I will briefly introduce the phenomenological philosopher Husserl, Heidegger, Merlot-Ponti, a psychiatrist of phenomenology, and a distinctive dialogist theologist Martin Boouber (Halling and Carroll, 1998). Then we will review the contribution of Sigmund Freud and its many believers in the psychoanalytic movement, which predicts the humanist 's psychology in several specific ways.

The humanitarian approach to psychology began with relativity theory (existentialism). It appeared in the early 20th century by works of pioneers like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. Essentially, the humanist approach is based on a holistic view of the existence of human beings. That concern includes human experience and self-fulfillment. Robbins (2008) - 7 stands out through the hierarchy of needs of Maslow. This approach is thought to be related to the therapist, Freud's psychotherapy model, and in particular the limits of psychoanalysis from a patient connection point of view. Maslow's theory is aimed at providing an approach that is not artificial. Karl Rogers and Abraham Maslow believe that psychodynamic theory does not deal with important issues such as meaning of behavior. They intrinsically want to transform Freud's theory.

Humanist psychology, also called a humanist approach, is a method or perspective for studying psychology. This method is very extensive and applies to society as a whole. The big question of this theory is that it focuses on huge and unreasonable problems. For example, you can not create a love chart. It's too vague and unpredictable. Alfred Adler, Erik Erikson, Carl Jung, Erich Fromm, Karen Horney, Otto Rank, Melanie Klein, and Harry Stack Sullivan are considered pioneering psychologists to research humanity and propose theoretical psychoanalysis. The second force comes from psychologists like Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B. F. Skinner who are studying Behavioral Science.
