Key Concepts

Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology is a perspective that emphasizes the whole person and views individuals as inherently good, free, and capable of self-determination. It focuses on personal growth, self-fulfillment, and the achievement of one's fullest potential, setting it apart from other approaches that concentrate on pathology or behavior modification.

Self-Actualization

Self-actualization is the process of realizing and fulfilling one’s talents, capabilities, and potential. It represents the highest level of psychological development in which personal growth, authentic experiences, and the pursuit of meaning become the driving forces in an individual's life.
