MASLOW´S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
Abraham Maslow developed a theory of personality that has influenced a number of different fields, including education. This theory accurately describes many realities ofpersonal experiences.
Maslow is a humanistic psychologist. Humanists do not believe that human beings are pushed and pulled by mechanical forces, either of stimuli and reinforcements (behaviorism)or of unconscious instinctual impulses (psychoanalysis).

This has been labeled "fully functioning person", "healthy personality", or as Maslow calls this level, "self-actualizing person."
