Description
Cadell Last:
"The main lessons from Maslowian humanist psychology is that there exists within humanity a common drive for an unbounded process of self-actualization, but more crucially, there also exists necessary material and social preconditions which must be met as a baseline of existence if an individual is to maintain and stabilize a sociocreative state of self-actualization.
Thus, for Maslow, we can understand human development from the standpoint of multiple hierarchical (but interacting) “levels” of growth from lower (more basic, animalistic, physiological) needs, like food and water, to the higher (more complex, humanistic, or psychological) needs like the desire for selfactualization (i.e. to be completely immersed and at home in an unbounded sociocreative process)."
