Holistic Dynamic Theory

The document discusses Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which categorizes human needs into five levels: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belongingness needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. It provides details on each level of needs, explaining that lower level needs must be met before higher level needs can be fulfilled. The highest level is self-actualization, which involves fulfilling one's full potential.

Hierarchy of Needs

40
On Holistic-Dynamic Theory...
Physiological Needs
• Need for food, water, oxygen, maintenance of body temperature, and so
on.
• Physiological needs differ from other needs in at least two important
respects:
– People can get enough to eat so that food completely loses its motivational
power.
– A second characteristic peculiar to physiological needs is their recurring nature.

Safety Needs
• Need for physical security, stability, dependency, protection, and freedom
from threatening forces such as war, terrorism, illness, fear, anxiety, danger,
chaos, and natural disasters.
• The needs for law, order, and structure are also safety needs.

Love and Belongingness Needs

• the desire for friendship; the wish for a mate and children; the need to
belong to a family, a club, a neighborhood, or a nation. This need also
include some aspects of sex and human contact as well as the need to
both give and receive love.

Love and Belongingness Needs

• People who have had their love and belongingness needs adequately
satisfied from early years do not panic when denied love.
• A second group of people consists of those who have never experienced
love and belongingness, and, therefore, they are incapable of giving love.
• A third category includes those people who have received love and
belongingness only in small doses. Because they receive only a taste of
love and belongingness, they will be strongly motivated to seek it.

44

Esteem Needs
• include self-respect, confidence, competence, and the knowledge that
others hold them in high esteem.
• Maslow (1970) identified two levels of esteem needs:
– Reputation is the perception of the prestige, recognition, or fame a person has
achieved in the eyes of others
– Self-esteem is a person’s own feelings of worth and confidence.

45

Self-Actualization Needs
• include self-fulfillment, the realization of all one's potential, and a desire to
become creative in the full sense of the world.
• Self-actualizing people maintain their feelings of self-esteem when scorned,
rejected and dismissed by other people.
• In other words, they are not dependent on the satisfaction of either love or
esteem needs.
