MASLOW’S GROWTH AND SELF-ACTUALIZATION PSYCHOLOGY, Part II SOME BASIC PROPOSITIONS
Propositions VI • 24. In principle, self-actualization is easy, in practice it rarely happens – 1%. • 25. Growth has intrinsic rewards, pleasures, and pains. • 26. Growth is dialectic between growth-fostering and growth-discouraging forces. • 27. S-A is based on naturalistic system of values. • 28.Neurosis is defense or evasion of inner core.
Propositions VII • 29. State of being without a system of values is psychopathogenic. • 30. At the level of S-A, many dichotomies are resolved. • 31. S-A integrates Freudian trichotomies. • 32. Healthy people (level of peak experiences) integrate conative (desires), cognitive, affective and motor. • 33. Development toward a concept of healthy unconscious. • 34. Healthier people use primary processes (unconscious and preconscious) instead of fearing them.
Propositions VIII • 35. Aesthetic perceiving and creating are essential. • 36. S-A does not mean transcendence of all human problems. • 37. S-A is gender grounded. • 38. S-A = dropping away the techniques used by the child. • 39. Society or culture can be either growth-fostering or growth-inhibiting.
Propositions IX • 40. Achievement of S-A makes transcendence of self possible. • 41.S-A persons often live out-of-time and out-of-place. • 42. D-need gratification comes from outside the person. • World in itself is interesting, beautiful, fascinating. • 43. Future now exists in person (as ideals, goals, plans, tasks). • Freud saw the past existing in the now.
