Humanistic Psychology is a psychological perspective that emphasizes the study of the whole person and the uniqueness of individual experiences. It focuses on concepts such as personal growth, self-actualization, and the inherent goodness of people. This approach emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the limitations of behaviorism and psychoanalysis, advocating for a more holistic understanding of human behavior. Key figures in Humanistic Psychology include Abraham Maslow, known for his hierarchy of needs, and Carl Rogers, who developed client-centered therapy. This approach encourages individuals to explore their feelings and thoughts, fostering a supportive environment for self-discovery and personal development.
