Humanistic approach
The Humanistic approach in psychology emphasizes the individual's capacity for personal growth, self-awareness, and making meaningful choices. It views people as inherently good and motivated to reach their full potential. This perspective focuses on understanding a person’s subjective experience, emphasizing areas like self-esteem, creativity, and personal fulfillment. Instead of just analyzing behaviors or symptoms, it encourages exploring what it means to be truly oneself, fostering an environment of empathy and support to help individuals grow naturally and authentically.
