Notes
In Chapter 14 of the book Future Visions entitled "Living in the World of Higher Values," Maslow gives therapeutic suggestions aimed at those individuals seeking to spend more time in what Maslow calls the Being-Realm.[1]His thoughts here include suggestions primarily focused on meeting the Psychological Needs for meaning, purpose, connection, alignment, esteem, and so on. His thoughts are enlightening, but not presented systematically.
The Core
The core of Eusychian theory is needs satisfaction. Maslow was always very clear that satisfaction of essential needs was the prequisite to human health, well being, and the full actuation of individual and collective (i.e., human) potential.[2] For him, self-actualized (or more appropriately self-actualizing) people where those who basic needs (what on the LP we'd define as the outer-circle emotional, psychological, physiological, cognitive, and environmental needs--see Seven Essential Needs) "already been satisfied. ...those whose basic needs have been satisfied and who generally feel safe and secure rather than anxious in the world. In essence, they feel a sense of belonging, of being part of the human family and not outside of it. Their love and affective relationships are good. Deep down, they feel worthy of love and affection. They have friends and, if fortunate, someone to love intensely.Their self-esteem problems have been settled well enough so that they respect themselves. They are not drowned with inferiority feelings; they have a vital sense of self-worth....In virtually all of these cases, these individuals have a clear sense of mission about their lives, that is, a meaningful vocation or calling. "[3]
Very Important Note: Folks living in what Maslow called Being-Values did not "exude halos. They wore shirts, belts, and shoes like everyone else.[4]
This calling could be anything, like being the "clan mother," or being a healer (psychiatrist, psychologist, doctor, etc.) motivated by love and the desire to heal. It is living through what Maslow calls "ultimate values."
Quotes
This therepuetic approach is "genuinely different.... It aims directly toward the greater independence and integration of the individual rather than hoping that such results will accrue if the counselor assists in solving the problem. The individual and not the problem is the focus. The aim is not to solve one particular problem but to assist the individual to grow, so that he can cope with the present problem and with later problems in a better integrated fashion. If he can gain enough integration to handle one problem in more independent, more responsible, less confused, better organized ways, then he will also handle new problems in that manner.
“If this seems a little vague, it may be made more specific. … It relies much more heavily on the individual drive toward growth, health, and adjustment. g him to do something about himself. It is instead a matter of freeing him for normal growth and development, of removing obstacles so that he can again move forward.
Therapy is not a matter of doing something fo the individual, or of inducing him to do something about himself. It is instead a matter of freeing him for normal growth and development, of removing obstacles so that he can again move forward.[5]
