ABRAHAM MASLOW

The human behavour has been explained by Maslow in terms of meeting basic needs.

We experience certain drives to meet these needs, and we are driven to act in particular ways in order to reduce these drives.

SELF-ACTUALISATION

It’s an ideal that every person want to reach, is satisfied by opportunities to develop talent and his full potential, to express ideas and knowledge, grow and develop as a person, getting personal achievements, so that each human being differs from others

PROBLEMS OF TRANSLATING

Maslow argued for two distinct categories of needs, deficiency (or maintenance) needs, and being (or growth) needs.

Maslow sostuvo dos teorías distintas de las necesidades, necesidades de déficit (o mantenimiento) y necesidades del ser (o crecimiento).

As we shall see later in Chapter 6 on motivation, human behavior has been explained by some psychologists (including Freud) in terms of meeting basic needs.

Como veremos más adelante en el capítulo 6 de motivación, el comportamiento humano ha sido explicado por algunos psicólogos (incluyendo a Freud) en términos de satisfacer las necesidades básicas.

Writers such as Frank and others have written movingly and eloquently about how in times of severe physical pain and deprivation during the Holocaust, it was the drive to meet so –called ¨being needs¨ which enabled many people to survive and overcome their appalling condition.

Escritores como Frank y otros han escrito una conmovedora y elocuente de cómo en tiempos de grave dolor físico y la privación durante el Holocausto, que fue el impulso para satisfacer las llamadas necesidades del ser, que ha permitido a mucha gente a sobrevivir y superar su estado lamentable.
