His book "The Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality" was enjoying much success.

Self-actualization refers to the desire to achieve one’s greatest potential or as Maslow writes “what a man can be, he must be” (Maslow). Abraham Maslow, a researcher and a pioneer in the field of psychology, strongly believed that people can control their own behavior and have the abilities to reach their full potential. Maslow is perhaps best known for his “Hierarchy of Needs” that culminates in self-actualization. This hierarchy begins with so-called “basic needs” - psychological, safety, social, and esteem - and concludes with the “growth need”. Among other characteristics, Maslow describes self-actualized people as highly creative, independent, genuine individuals who are resistant to enculturation and accept themselves for who

The humanistic ideas of Carl Rogers is what differentiates him from other psychologists. Carl strongly believed in Abraham Maslow’s idea of self-actualization. Self-actualization is the idea that there is a stage in a person’s life where they realize all of their greatest talents while still being aware of their limitations.

The term “Self-Concept” refers what perceptions ones have or what ones believes about oneself. Self-concept can also be defined as identity and plays a vital role in determining individuals’ behavior. Development of self-concept or identity is one of the most essential of a kid’s mental development. It basically shows who we are as a kid and relations to other people. Young children frequently portray themselves utilizing discernible qualities, for example, stature, hair shading and even their leisure activities. Myers (2009) says that “self-concept is self-schemas, which refer to the beliefs concerning oneself that help an individual to process valuable self-relevant information (p.39).

After bouncing around profesionally and study wise, he attended a convention for Christians in China where he started having doubts about his religious upbringing. He tried out a few more schools and jobs, but ended up working with troubled children. I belive this is what planted the seed of psychological study. He wrote his first book, entitled The clinical treatment of the problem child.

Men and women were selling themselves short of the human race was the story (Maslow, 1908-1970). Abraham Maslow was the originator of Humanistic Psychology.

Abraham H. Maslow was born on April 1, 1908 in New York City, and passed away on June 8, 1970 in California. Dr. Maslow received all three (A.B., M.A. and Ph.D.) of his degrees from the University of Wisconsin. He was also the “founding editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology and the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology.” (Professional biography, 1970, p. 98). As a graduate student enthusiastic by the work of Alfred Adler and John B. Watson, Maslow became a dedicated behaviorist, and pursued his socialistic and humanistic (Maslow, 2000, p. 129). From 1933 to late 1936, Dr. Maslow spent most of his research on monkeys and primates, his topic of focus revolved around motivation, hunger, social interaction, sexual behaviour, and learning and reproduction of learned behaviours. In 1937, Dr. Maslow began his work on social psychology, and was a prominent figure and founder of individual psychology as well. His focus during that time included personality and culture, dominance, and personality and social behaviour in women. At the start of 1941, it was evident that his works began to broaden and he delved into abnormal psychology, leadership, human motivation, and developed his famous theory of self-actualization in 1943 (Professional biography, 1970, p. 100).

Self- concept also our beliefs about one’s own nature, unique, qualities, and typical behavior. Your self- concept is your mental picture of yourself. It is a collection of self- perceptions ( Weiten, Dunn, & Hammer, 2012).
