Abstract
This paper describes the outlook of Abraham Maslow, one of the most influential psychological theorists of the 20th century. In particular, his approach known as humanistic psychology is examined, with an emphasis on his holistic-dynamic theory. The paper describes this theory based on the existing theories of Freud, Jung and Adler. Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" is presented as part of the holistic theory. The paper regards Maslow quite positively, because he never claimed that his theories were an end in themselves or that they were valid to the exclusion of all other theories of psychology.
Outline:
Background of Maslow's Interest in Humanistic Psychology
The Holistic Dynamic Theory
Theory of Motives
Deficiency Motives
Growth Motives
Hierarchy of Needs
The Physiological Needs
The Safety and Security Needs
The Love and Belonging Needs
The Esteem Needs
Self-Actualization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even while realizing the importance of the existing theories, Maslow made it his life's goal to "integrate into a single theoretical structure" the partial truths that he saw in Freud, Adler, Jung, et. al. He asserted that Freud had given us "the sick half of psychology, and we must now fill it out with the healthy half." (Maslow, quoted by Ewen, 1998, p. 416) As a result, Maslow developed his Holistic-Dynamic theory of human psychology through the study of healthy, fully functioning, and creative individuals instead of focusing on the mentally ill and the neurotic individuals as was done by Freud and his followers."

Abstract
The paper relates Abraham Maslow's background and examines the theory he proposed in his 1943 paper, "A Theory of Human Motivation." The paper explains his theory which contends that as humans meet basic needs, they seek to satisfy successively higher needs that occupy a set hierarchy. Maslow proposed that all people seek to satisfy five basic needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs and self-actualization needs. The paper is of the opinion that Maslow's theory is a common sense approach to human behavior. The paper discusses how his research shows there is a motivator for each need and it is these motivators that pushes one through the hierarchy of needs pyramid.

From the Paper
"Maslow's original studies and research while at University of Wisconsin were investigating primate dominance behavior. He performed further research and similar studies at Columbia University. From 1937 to 1951 Maslow was on the faculty at Boston College and while in New York was mentored by anthropologist Ruth Benedict and Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer. Maslow so looked up to these people that he began taking notes about them and their behavior. "This would be the basis for his lifelong study and thinking about mental health and human potential""

Abstract
This paper defines Abraham Maslow?s hierarchy of needs theory. It also analyzes the fictitious organization, Parcel Delivery Corporation (PDC). It applies Maslow?s theory to the Parcel Delivery Corporation and identifies the motivation processes involved.
From the Paper
"In the late 1960s Abraham Maslow developed a hierarchical theory of human needs. Maslow was a humanistic psychologist who believed that people are not controlled by mechanical forces (the stimuli and reinforcement forces of behaviorism) or unconscious instinctual impulses alone. He focused on human potential, believing that human beings strive to reach the highest levels of their capabilities. Maslow set up a hierarchical theory of needs in which all the basic needs are at the bottom, and the needs concerned with man’s highest potential are at the top. The hierarchic theory is often represented as a pyramid, with the larger, lower levels representing the lower needs, and the upper point representing the need for self-actualization."

Abstract
This paper examines Maslow's theory of a hierarchy of human physical, emotional, and social needs. It shows how he wrote that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs and how the promise of fulfilling unfulfilled needs is what primarily drives human beings into action. This theory is analyzed in context of a salesperson's job.
From the Paper
"The salesperson's calling is also based upon needs, as in "I need to make a living and earn 'y' amount of dollars, therefore I will sell you 'x.'" However, the relationship of a salesperson on commission is even more needs based than perhaps some other professions. On the most basic and elemental of levels, the salesman or woman is motivated by his or her physiological needs-the need to eat, the need to feel warm, to buy clothes-all of which require a salary. The salesman will sell homes via the mortgage company to facilitate a buyer's own physical needs to have a kitchen to eat and store food, to feel warm in a residence, or to have a place to stay to weather the elements. Thus selling mortgages fulfills the prime, first, core base of the psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of human needs."

Abstract
Abraham Maslow is often cited as the father of humanist psychology. Through the psychological movement that he and others began has developed what many call the 'third force' in psychology. The theories surrounding humanistic psychology reject a great deal of those found within the first two forces, psychoanalysis and behaviorism. This paper addresses Maslow's life as a source of inspiration for his theory. It also defines humanistic psychology. Maslow's holistic-dynamic personality theory is focused on.
From the Paper
"Experiencing the all to common personal changes that accompany the personal growth associated with the raising of one?s own children, Maslow began to see that there was so much more to the human spirit and psyche than had previously been given notice within the school of psychology. Maslow in a 1968 interview, speaking of the universal experience of parenting even went so far as to state that, ?I was stunned by the mystery and by the sense of not really being in control. I felt small and weak and feeble before all this. I?d say anyone who had a baby couldn?t be a behaviorist.?"

Abstract
This paper defines this theory by Maslow and examines its importance to American businesses today. Maslow?s theory of hierarchy of needs discusses the hierarchy and satisfaction of various human needs and how people pursue these needs. This theory is used by human resource managers to motivate their employees.

"These theories are fully applicable in today?s work setting. As far as the matter of the applicability of these theories to hospital employees is concerned, one should first identify as to whether a hospital employee fits the profile of an average business employee? Does he respond to the same motivator patterns as identified by Maslow? Does he possess the same hierarchy of needs as possessed by an average business employee?"

Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ayurveda "recognizes that every individual has a unique constitution; a set of conditions, characteristics, and life circumstances. Therefore, Ayurvedic treatment must properly address this unique constitution to maximize the benefits of treatment in the prevention or cure of disease. Ayurveda holds that an individual is healthy only if the mind, body, emotions and soul of the individual are perfectly aligned with the universe or the cosmic intelligence. This view of a unique construction is parallel to the modern science concept of DNA. (Lim, 2006) Techniques of breathing are for nurturing the life-force and ethics while mantra and mediation are used toward balancing the mind. "

Abstract
This paper describes and defines holistic care of patients. The writer claims that the provision of suitable nursing care is not possible if the patient is not viewed in a holistic and complete manner. The writer explains that the holistic care of a patient involves the care of the whole person. The writer further points out that even though nurses do often tend to provide what they believe is holistic nursing care, they also tend to forget the spiritual dimension.
From the Paper
"It is impossible to provide adequate nursing care if the patient is not viewed holistically. Holistic care refers to care for the whole person. According to the CNO, among the core competencies for the nurse who is performing assessment, she "considers the psychosocial, emotional, ethnic, cultural and spiritual dimensions of health". "

Abstract
This paper reviews many prominent personality theories:
William James, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, Alfred Adler, Margaret Mahler, Otto Kernberg, Buddhists, Carl Rogers, Heinz Kohut, Erik Erikson, Karen Horney, Albert Bandura and Rollo May. The author believes that these theories are broad and simply defined, but there is not yet a collective theory of personality that can be applied to everyone.
From the Paper
"William James believed in the psychology of the consciousness. James understood, unlike many of his predecessors, that consciousness is selective. ... Sigmund Freud felt consciousness was anything that a person is aware of at a particular time. Alternatively, John B. Watson believed that the consciousness does not exist and all human behavior is conditioned. Overall, this writer feels that the consciousness does exist as a personality construct and is, therefore, difficult to define. Consciousness should be seen as a state of being, a factor of living and experiencing life. A person making a conscious decision has made that decision based on the knowledge presented and using the processing that is unique to that particular personality."

Psycho-Dynamic Therapy, 2006.
This paper discusses current trends in the psycho-dynamic therapy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that psycho-dynamic therapy has its roots in psychoanalytic theory; however, psycho-dynamic therapy differs from classical psychoanalysis. The author points out that psycho-dynamic therapy is shorter, need not include all analytic techniques, is not conducted by psycho-analytically trained analysts and the therapist is much more actively and openly responsive to the client. The paper relates that contemporary object relations theory distinguishes between psychoanalytic theories, which are drive theories that emphasize biological drives such as sexuality and aggression, and relational theories, which emphasize human relationships.
From the Paper
"The approach of the therapeutic situation depends very much on the theoretical perspective of the analyst. The psychodynamic schools value still the contemporary importance of Freud's original concepts, including the unconscious, id, ego, transference, resistance, free association, and Oedipus complex. Some theorists and analysts described as neo-Freudians retained many of the concepts described by Freud. Among these are the "ego psychology" school pioneered by Anna Freud. The "object relations" school emphasizes the importance of relationships between mother and child in early childhood, the school includes a number of theorists, such as Melanie Klein, Donald Winicott, and John Bowlby."
