Humanistic Psychology Puns

Psychoanalysis is a method of treating mental disorders, shaped by psychoanalytic theory, which emphasizes unconscious mental processes and is sometimes described as “depth psychology.” The psychoanalytic movement originated in the clinical observations and formulations of Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, who coined the term psychoanalysis. During the 1890s

Behaviorism, also known as behavioral psychology, is a theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. Conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our responses to environmental stimuli shape our actions. In behaviourism, the organism is seen as “responding” to conditions (stimuli) set by the outer environment and by inner biological processes.

Humanistic psychologists believe that behaviourists are overconcerned with the scientific study and analysis of the actions of people as organisms (to the neglect of basic aspects of people as feeling, thinking individuals) and that too much effort is spent in laboratory research—a practice that quantifies and reduces human behaviour to its elements. Humanists also take issue with the deterministic orientation of psychoanalysis, which postulates that one’s early experiences and drives determine one’s behaviour. The humanist is concerned with the fullest growth of the individual in the areas of love, fulfillment, self-worth, and autonomy.

The American psychologist Abraham Maslow, considered one of the leading architects of humanistic psychology, proposed a hierarchy of needs or drives in order of decreasing priority or potency but increasing sophistication: physiological needs, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization. Only when the more primitive needs are met can the individual progress to higher levels in the hierarchy. People reaching self-actualization will have fully realized their potential.

The concept of the self is a central focal point for most humanistic psychologists. In the “personal construct” theory of American psychologist George Kelly and the “self-centred” theory of American psychotherapist Carl Rogers, individuals are said to perceive the world according to their own experiences. This perception affects their personality and leads them to direct their behaviour to satisfy the needs of the total self. Rogers stressed that, in the development of an individual’s personality, the person strives for “self-actualization

I'm doing this assignment for school where I have to relate my personality to the four major personality theories, and I'm trying to find moments in the show/movies that show the idea of humanistic psychology. So are there any direct quotes or instances in the series that show this?

Do you think a methodology formed based on this approach would be effective in treating NPD?

i just learned of this whole new path the other day, but am completely clueless as to how i may begin. ive been an international teacher (B Ed Secondary Mathematics) for many years, but have been feeling a pull to more individual-based interactions in a counseling/advising capacity.

ive always hated the idea of becoming a therapist because i always associated it with freud or jung and i just couldnt connect with those approaches to well-being. the idea of having to slog through all of that theory had always dissuaded me from looking further into it.

i was hoping for some insight if anyone could offer their perspective. i dont even know where to begin if my goal is to become qualified. ive been an expat for so long, im quite out of touch with basically everything in america. thank you all so much for any help or recommendations.

Hi there forensic psychologists. I’m a clinical psychology PhD student with interest in pursuing either a forensic psychology or a serious mental illness specialty post-doc in the future. I know that there are roles in forensic psychology that require the psychologist to work on behalf of the state to provide a purely objective assessment of an individual or to facilitate competency to stand trial, for example. I am interested in these roles, and particularly in forensic assessment. However, I am wondering if there are also roles within forensic psychology that allow a psychologist to work purely on behalf of an incarcerated or recently incarcerated client using a recovery-based, humanistic/holistic perspective in direct treatment of/advocacy for the individual (addressing things like access, poverty, stress, substance use, serious mental illness)? Thank you!

I'm just curious, everyone likes to giggle at concepts most people find ridiculous today like penis envy and yet humanistic psychology seems to attract little criticism despite many humanistic concepts seriously lacking empirical evidence.

I'm not saying that humanistic psychology is worthless, I just want to know why it does not attract the same level of ire from psychologists.

I am considering pursing a PhD in humanistic psychology, and I was wondering if there was an interest in alternative, holistic therapy in Georgia.

I recently got around to watching the first three episodes, knowing nothing about MP100 except that it was made by ONE. In reading some analyses I noticed some interesting connections to Psychology, and figured you guys might appreciate it. Note that I haven't read the manga, so I have no clue about anything past episode 3.

In psychology this guy named Erikson came up with eight internal conflicts that everyone generally goes through in life, and the positive traits that are ideally gained from the peripateia of each:

Infant (Hope) – Basic Trust vs. Mistrust

Toddler (Will) – Autonomy vs. Shame

Preschooler (Purpose) – Initiative vs. Guilt

School-Age Child (Competence) – Industry vs. Inferiority

Adolescent (Fidelity) – Identity vs. Identity Diffusion

Young Adult (Love) – Intimacy vs. Isolation

Middle-aged Adult (Care) – Generativity vs. Self-absorption

Older Adult (Wisdom) – Integrity vs. Despair

People meet the next conflict regardless of whether they beat the last one, so it kind of creates a personal scoreboard depending on which aspects you have to go back and fix. (phases we're fixated on, as Freud would say.)

So far, every part of Mob's life has mirrored these conflicts almost perfectly.

Trust vs. Mistrust: As a baby, he has a caring and supportive but authoritative family, meaning he has a basic faith in those around him, and earns the trait of Hope.

Autonomy vs. Shame: His toddler phases we don't have much info for, but since he started using his powers and was initially proud of them, I think he won this one by a slim margin for two reasons. First of all, he does quickly gain control of his powers, which also infers that he probably gained some level of emotional control. However, I think he was barely able to pull it off, and only with the girl's help. because of the next point. he tentatively earns the Trait of Will.

Initiative vs. Guilt: This conflict is where he suffers an incredibly heavy loss. His conditional victory in his last phase, caused by the girl, is damaged when she loses interest in his powers. Mob does take the initiative, but it is rejected and Mob is made to feel guilty for being himself. Like a Freak. This causes him to regress the Stage two victory into shame, and makes him feel guilt for having all of this power the others don't have. We see this most clearly in the fight with dimple, where he finds his lack of control and emotional state, and by extension himself, "Terrible."

The failure of the th

as the title says, i'm having a difficult time finding schools that meet these criteria. I'm currently looking at schools to apply to. So far the only one that really interests me is Duquesne University. There are a lot of great schools out there but unfortunately a lot of them are not APA Accredited. Any suggestions?

I'm supposed to list causes of amnesia from the six psychological perspectives. So far, I'm hung up on humanistic and behavioral. There's nothing helpful on Google that I can find, so here I am.

Are there many known careers and paths within Humanistic Psychology? I'm not particularly interested in clinical or research. Does that leave me with many options?

I'm talking about this kind!

Thanks!

I was wondering what ideas you guys have about humanistic psychology. My university is pretty well-known for its work in humanistic psych but from what I understand it's not something that's readily-accepted by mainstream psychologists. Since I've subscribed to this sub-reddit I've never seen an article or reference to this school of learning. From your perspective (what you've learned in college/ general knowledge) how do you view humanistic psychology and why?

Edit* for those who may be unfamiliar, humanistic psychology tends to think of people in less clinical terms and more in terms of the person as a whole. It attempts to consider the broad range of the human condition instead of following the "textbook-style" labeling that is so prevalent in the field of psychology today.

I ask this after reading through some of Erich Fromm's books. Despite how relevant I found the ideas outlined to be, I'm still wondering how humanistic philosophy, especially the psychological side is viewed by contemporary thought which seems to focus on a cognitive/physiological/behavioural approach? Is it still viewed as valid?
