Whilst the environment may have some influence over our behaviour, we are able to reject or accept these influences as the masters or mistresses of our own destiny.
The choices we make are not determined by biological or external forces and we are in control of our own destinies

The humanistic approach is one of the few to adopt a free will perspective on behaviour.
The concept is central to Roger’s client-centred therapy, which promotes the concept that people are free to make changes in their lives through the choices they make.
Individuals can remove psychological barriers, thus allowing personal growth and self-actualisation

Determinism is the view that an individual's behaviour is shaped or controlled by internal or external forces, rather than an individual's will to do something. Free will has nothing to do with explaining behaviour. There are 5 types of determinism - hard, soft, biological, environmental and psychic. Hard determinism (also known as fatalism), claims that free will is not possible, as all human behaviour has an internal (biological or psychic determinism) or external (environmental determinism) cause beyond our control and, like science, argues that it is possible to establish causal laws governing behaviour. Soft determinism
Soft determinism was first suggested by William James (1890) and later adopted by the cognitive approach.
Soft determinism accepts that while all behaviour has a cause, people do have conscious mental control over what they do.
James pointed out that whilst science may wish to find causal connections explaining behaviour, this does not diminish the fact that humans are rational beings, capable of making decisions for themselves regarding their actions

What does this do?
This gives face validity to the free will argument - it makes cognitive sense
