Description
Maslow
"Maslow's message is that to achieve peak experience people must move from self to other. Social justice, generativity, and transformative thinking and acting are all concepts that could be associated with this orientation. The fundamental idea is that people must move to a focus and concern for other people to achieve the highest level of human nature. People who move beyond self-actualization "are, without a single exception, involved in a cause outside of their skin: in something outside of themselves, some calling or vocation" (Maslow, 197 1 :42). This view is supported by, among others, Erik Erikson (1987) and Carl Rogers (1961). " (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamotivation)
