Q

Strength of Humanistic Psychology

A
  • Real World Applications
26
Q

Weaknesses of Humanistic Psychology

A
  • Evidence very thin

- Unrealistic view

27
Q

Describe Lack of Evidence as an evaluation of Humanistic Psychology

A
  • Hierarchy of Need has very little evidence. This is to be expected of a theory that heavily criticises empirical evidence
  • Some validity provided by clinical data from management studies (Rogers & Roethlisberger 1982)
  • Despite this, cultural bias concerns are raised as these values may only be a feature of Western cultures.
28
Q

Describe Unrealistic View as an evaluation of Humanistic Psychology

A
  • Critics argue that it is unrealistic as a view of human nature and point to more sinister aspects of human behaviour.
  • It’s argued the approach focuses on ‘growth orientated’’ behaviour whilst ignoring an individual’s capacity for self destruction.
  • This is an idea that is acknowledged far better by the Psychodynamic Approach through the ideas of Id, Ego and Superego
  • Focus on self-development ignores any situational factors and is therefore too reductionist and deterministic
29
Q

Describe Applications as an evaluation of Humanistic Psychology

A
  • Humanistic psychology has had a big influence on counselling. Contemporary therapists use Roger’s ideas of self worth and help clients work towards self-awareness.
  • It’s impossible to imagine modern client-centered therapy without the insights from Humanistic Psychology
  • Shows the humanistic theory to be a useful theory with real-world applications that provide it with strong external validity
