Maslow suggests a "continuum of humanness." On one side dysfunction and the Diminished Human Being, on the other Full Realization and Full Humanness.

Think of the great theoretical and scientific advantages of placing on one single continuum of degree or amount of human­ness, not only all the kinds of sickness the psychiatrists and physicians talk about but also all the additional kinds that existentialists and philosophers and religious thinker's and social reformers have worried about. Not only this, but we can also place on the same single scale all the various degrees and kinds of health that we know about. plus even the health-beyond health of self-transcendence, of mystical fusion. and whatever still higher possibilities of human nature the future may yet disclose.[2]
