Maslows
Needs Theory

Madelyn R. Decierdo

Abraham Harold Maslow

American psychologist known for


creating
Maslow's hierarchy of
needs, a theory of psychological
health predicated on fulfilling innate
human needs in priority, culminating
in self-actualization

Born and raised by his Jewish


parents in Brooklyn New York and
oldest of seven children .

Maslow was a psychology professor


at Brandeis University, Brooklyn
College, New School for Social
Research and Columbia University

The Needs Theory


Human needs as ordered in a prepotent hierarchy
a pressing need would need to be mostly satisfied
before someone would give their attention to the next
highest need
When a human being ascends the levels of the
hierarchy having fulfilled the needs in the hierarchy, one
may eventually achieve self-actualization. Late in life,
Maslow came to conclude that self-actualization was
not an automatic outcome of satisfying the other human
needs

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

Self
Actualization
Esteem Need
Love and Belonging Need

Safety Need
Physiological Need

Self- Actualization
Maslow based his theory partially on his own assumptions
about human potential and partially on his case studies of
historical figures whom he believed to be self-actualized,
including Albert Einstein and Henry David Thoreau.
The main point of that new movement, that reached its peak
in 1960s, was to emphasize the positive potential of human
beings.
Maslow noticed that self-actualized individuals had a better
insight of reality, deeply accepted themselves, others and
the world, and also had faced many problems and were
known to be impulsive people..
