Self-Regulation

According to Abraham Maslow, Self-regulation is a feature of biological life. Given an adequate environment, the organism will choose for itself the things it needs to achieve "biological success."

Quotes

This is in general anti-authoritarian. anticontrol­ling. For me it brings back into serious focus the whole Taoistic point of view. not only as expressed in contemporary ecological and ethological studies. where we have learned not to intrude and to control. but for the human being it also means trusting more the child's own impulses toward growth and self-actualiza­tion. This means a greater stress on spontaneity and on au­tonomy rather than on prediction and external control.

What if the organism is seen as having 'biological wisdom'? If we learn to give it greater trust as autonomous, self-governing, and self-choosing, then clearly we as scientists, not to mention physicians, teachers, or even parents, must shift our image over to a more Taoistic one. This is the one word that I can think of that summarizes succinctly the many elements of the image of the more humanistic scientist. Taoistic means asking rather than telling. It means nonintruding, noncontrolling. It stresses noninterfering observation rather than a controlling manipulation. It is receptive and passive rather than active and forceful. It is like saying that if you want to learn about ducks, then you had better ask the ducks instead of telling them. So also for human children. In prescribing 'what is best for them' it looks as if the best technique for finding out what is best for them is to develop techniques for letting them to tell us what is best for them.

This is the opposite of controlling, propagandizing, molding, teaching in the old sense. It definitely rests upon the implications and assumptions that I have already mentioned, although I must say that they are very rarely made, for example, such implications as trust in the health-moving direction of most individuals, of expecting them to prefer health to illness; of believing that a state of subjective well-being is a pretty good guide to what is 'best for the person.' This attitude implies a preference for spontaneity rather than for control, for trust in the organism rather than mistrust. It assumes that the person wants to be fully human rather than that he wants to be sick, pained, or dead.
