Psychology of being. Maslow A.

The book of the American psychologist Abraham Maslow, one of the iconic figures in the psychology of the 20th century, presented an alternative to the two main directions in psychology at the time of its first edition - behaviorism and Freudian psychoanalysis. Maslow, who began his research path as a pupil of the behaviorist approach, perceives the influence of the so -called “third force”. This alternative movement included the followers of nefordism, ethnopsychology and gestalt psychology, etc. Besides from the ideas developed by the associates of the “third force”, Maslow makes an attempt to build a new perspective of studying human nature, which later became widely recognized and became known as a humanistic approach in psychology.

For students of psychological specialties and all those interested in modern trends in the social sciences.
