The Humanistic Perspective focuses on how people can achieve their fullest potential as individuals who make choices and who take control of responsibility for their mental, social, and personal experiences.   It also emphasizes free will and individuals' control of their own behavior. Andrea fulfilled her dreams when in high school by being valedictorian. She also had a home to shelter with her family. She was loved very much by her kid’s husband, and parents.

Humanistic theories emerged in 1950s. We have two types of humanistic theories, the first one is Person-centred theory by Carl Rogers which is based on how people see them-selves in relation to their personal experience and the second theory is Self-actualisation by Abraham Maslow which is based on the needs that motivate people. In this paper both theories will be described in detail and also they will be evaluated.

Humanistic perspective is a psychological perspective popularized by Carlo Rogers and Abraham Maslow that emphasizes the human capacity for choice and growth. This perspective offers a very positive viewpoint of human nature and potential. It suggests that we are each responsible for our own happiness and well-being as humans. “The humanistic approach emphasizes the personal worth of the individual, the centrality of human

This perspective assumes that we all thrive for personality growth, through mental processes and behaviors.. This perspective is different in its methodology compare to the biological approach, and the psychodynamic approach. Both these perspectives assume that human beings are controlled by internal or external forces. There are deterministic in nature. The humanistic perspective, promotes free will, and people can be, whatever, they envision themselves. This perspective was influence by humanists such as Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, who emphasizes on the importance of individual potentials.

The humanistic perspective on personality deals exclusively with human behavior. Humanistic psychologists believe that human nature includes a natural drive towards personal growth, that humans have the freedom to choose what they do regardless of environmental factors, and humans are mostly conscious beings and are not controlled by unconscious needs and conflicts. They also believe that a person's subjective view of the world is more important than objective reality. Two of the humanistic theorists that have made an impact of humanism are Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow.

The humanistic approach assumes that people arrive with an inborn tendency to grow, otherwise known as self-actualisation and presumes that if a person's environment fosters it, self-actualisation

Humanism, also known as the phenomenological approach, is a contemporary approach to psychology that focuses on the “whole person”. It stresses the idea that a person is an individual and is unique. Humanists look at behavior through the eyes of the person, not as an observer. Everyone needs to be treated differently based on their unique personality. They believe that a person’s behavior is determined by their perception of the world around them, not their environment or genetics. Humanism begins with the belief that people have free will, or personal agency as it’s called in humanism, and that all people are inherently good. It is believed that everyone wants to make themselves and the world a better place. They have a natural born drive to fulfill their maximum potential. Humanism emphasizes personal worth and basic human values. Humanists are not concerned about instinctual drive, external forces, or past experiences. Instead humanists use the ideas of love, fulfillment, self-worth, and independence to help people as they are the basic human wants.

Humanists have four beliefs that they hold onto. First, they focus on the here and now rather than holding onto their past or looking into the future. Secondly, this theory is based on reality. It states that we are responsible for ourselves, whether our actions are good or bad. Next, humanists believe that no matter how bad we mess up, we will still hold the same value. By this they mean that our value is not found in our mistakes. Lastly, they believe that the ultimate goal in life is to achieve personal growth, resulting in self-improvement and self-knowledge filling us with happiness. With this being said, I somewhat believe with this theory, but strongly agree with the third belief when it says that our value is not found in our mistakes. I fully agree with this one belief because our value is found in the Lord and He sent His son to die on the cross for those exact mistakes. He knew the very day He created us that we would make those mistakes and He still loves us just as much. In conclusion, I do not fully believe with the first, second, or fourth belief of the humanistic theory, leading me to believe it is not the strongest theory.

I found the Humanistic Perspective gave me the desrie to evplore in greater detail because I do believe that we can each become whomever and whatever we desire. I accept that in order to achieve this there must be a willingness to explore many internal and external experiences. The ability to gain perspective from another persons view is often difficult to do as it generally requires the idea that you may be wrong in some way but will almost always give a perspective that can allow for empathy and acceptance of ourselves and others. This acceptance I feel is the singal most approach to living in a peacefully enjoyable life.

Humanism is a term that is applied to beliefs, methods and philosophies that place human beings at the center all life and the universe. Humanists observe that the goal of human life is happiness on earth. Besides happiness, humanism is also grounded in “naturalistic metaphysics” (Lamont 13). It considers all supernatural things and beliefs to be mythical, hence warranting dismissal. It is also conceived of the idea that human beings are products of nature rather than supernatural creation. The earthly experience is more important than any forms of predestination or determinism. According to humanist, human beings have choice of action and have the capacity to shape their destiny. The process of self-definition also leads to critical inquiry

Different Perspectives in Psychology coexist rather than conflict. Evaluate this proposition drawing on at least two chapters from Book 2.

During lecture, Dr. Kappes (2015) explained some of the major psychological theories or schools of thought. The most appealing to me is the humanistic approach. Its main representative is Carl Rogers (1951), who believe that individuals had a potential to achieve a full life with meaning and self-actualization. Additionally, Dr. Kappes (2015) stated that this movement is centered in the belief that as humans we the capacity to be a good person, to think rationally and to act freely (Kappes, 2015).

First and foremost, humanistic perspective is a kind of management perspective that emerged around the late 19th century that emphasised the importance of understanding human behaviours and individual consideration in the workplace. In humanistic perspective of management, human beings or employees are taken as the most important resource of enterprises. This theory advocates enterprises should emphasize on stimulating employees motivation, activity and creativity to carry out administrating activities (Samson, D., Catley, B., Cathro, V., & Daft, R., 2012). One of the huge companies that adopted humanistic management in managing their employees
