The Humanistic Approach

The Humanistic Approach to psychology focuses on understanding people as unique individuals with their own feelings, experiences, and potential. It emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and the importance of fulfilling one's inherent desires for meaning and connection. Rather than just looking at problems or behavior, this approach encourages exploring what makes people feel authentic and motivated. It views individuals as capable of making positive choices and emphasizes empathy, understanding, and the belief that everyone has the ability to improve and achieve their best self.
