The Human-istic Approach

The humanistic approach is a psychological perspective that emphasizes the inherent worth and potential of each individual. It focuses on understanding human experiences, emotions, and personal growth. Rather than viewing people primarily through the lens of behavior or unconscious drives, this approach champions the idea that individuals have the power to make choices and achieve self-actualization. It values empathy, authenticity, and the subjective experience, seeking to understand the whole person in their context. Rooted in the belief that everyone strives for fulfillment, it promotes a holistic understanding of human nature and well-being.
