William Schutz (psychologist)

William Schutz was a psychologist known for his work on understanding human relationships and group dynamics. He developed theories about how people connect through three core needs: inclusion (feeling accepted), control (having influence or control), and openness (sharing and intimacy). Schutz believed that balancing these needs is essential for healthy interpersonal interactions and group harmony. His work helps individuals and organizations improve communication, build trust, and foster cooperation by recognizing and addressing these fundamental social needs.
