Humanistic Psychology

The focus of this paper is in a human-centered approach, ie customer-centered treatment, student-centered learning, organizational, and other community environments that understand personality and interpersonal relationships in psychotherapy and counseling. Psychoanalysis and behaviorism have made a great contribution to psychology, which has influenced the understanding and practice of human movement, especially the treatment of various psychiatric disorders.

In the 20th century, humanitarian psychology was called "third power" in psychology, which was completely different from previous and less humanistic psychoanalytic and behavioristic methods. In society after the industrial revolution, humanitarian psychology becomes more important, for example psychoanalysis and behaviorism do not produce emotional intelligence. One of the earliest materials of humanist psychology was the work of Carl Rogers, who was strongly influenced by Otto Rank, who became friends with Freud in the mid 1920's. The focus of Rogers is to ensure that the development process leads to a more healthy and creative personality. Rogers also advocated the term "realization tendency" which ultimately led Abraham Maslow to regard self realization as one of human needs. Rogers and Maslow showed this positive humanitarian psychology according to what they thought they were overly pessimistic psychoanalytic views.

Abraham Maslow and the birth of humanistic psychology. Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was the most responsible person in the creation of humanitarian psychology. He converts the wide range of desires for various types of psychology theory and practice into chunks of humanities psychology, journals, conferences, and formal organizations. His self and the theory of self-fulfillment lay the foundation of later humanist psychologist (1962, 3 pages). Customer-centric or human-centered approaches to treatment of Carl Rogers and Sidney Jurald's self-disclosing psychology partially explain the interpersonal conditions that are most useful for awakening and achieving inner self.
