Both researchers established trends in how to conceptualize human psychology. Although Maslow was influenced by the trends that Freud established in the subject of psychology, Maslow developed his theories independently.

Maslow and Freud are fun and easy to compare and contrast because they share enough in common with one another to recognize points of reference.
Sigmund Freud was born in Austria on May 6, 1856. He spent most of his life in Vienna. His father was a merchant. Freud initially studied neurology and intended...
One day he was working with a patient diagnosed with what was then called "hysteria," and the experience sparked in Freud the urge to study the human mind ("Sigmund Freud"). At first, Freud learned about the art and techniques of hypnosis, before switching just to the use of talking to clients about their dreams and innermost thoughts. Freud developed controversial but comprehensive theories about the human mind, hinging on his theories of the unconscious mind. According to Freud, the human personality is divided into three main parts: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id represents our most basic childlike urges. The ego represents the complex of who we think we are and who we present to the world. The superego represents the social norms that govern human behavior and cause feelings like guilt. Freud remained obsessed with human pathology, and developed seemingly outlandish theories about the deepest urges that…

However, just like Maslow, Rogers is just as interested in describing the healthy person. Positive regard is self-esteem, self-worth, and a positive self-image which are achieved through experiencing the positive regard that others show us over our years of growing up; without this, we feel small and helpless. Under Roger's theory, this "small" and "helplessness" is exactly what John is feeling, most likely as a result of the manner

Maslow gave them that self-meaning and appreciation and became one of the pioneers of a movement that brought the focus of individual feeling, yearning and wholeness into psychology. He sort of read them out and spoke their thoughts, feelings and aspirations for them. He devoted much energy to humanistic psychology and the human potential and inaugurated the "fourth force" in psychology towards the end of his life. The first
Maslow's work, specifically his hierarchy of needs theory that provided insight into basic human needs and a potential hierarchical structure of said needs. This is a great way to introduce Maslow's concept of self-actualization and helps the reader gain insight into the nature of the concept by addressing the background and theoretical framework. "The five needs that were originally enlisted were physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization.
Personality Theories in Psychology To the layperson, the term personality is a generic descriptor for an individual's traits. However, personality has a more specific meaning to psychologists. According to Dan McAdams, "Personality psychology is the scientific study of the whole person" (McAdams, 2006, p.12, para.1). While different psychologists and their theories have become well-known enough to be referenced in casual conversation, there is still some confusion among laypeople about personality
