Abraham Maslow's Humanistic Approach

Schultz and Schultz (2013) concurs Abraham Maslow's humanistic approach based on his needs-hierarchy theory and Albert Bandura's cognitive-behavioral approach on his modeling theory have advanced the ideas to explain the human personality. Maslow's ultimate goal was "each person is born with the same set of instinctive needs that enable us to grow, develop, and fulfill our potential (p. 243)." He believed both environmental and psychological factors are needed to be present within the development to achieve "self-actualization or reach our highest potential as humans." In Maslow's theory is similar ideas on environment and Bandura's premise the world around us: (a) what we see, (b) what we feel, (c) what we experience are casual factors producing our behaviors. Schultz and Schultz (2013) states Maslow was the founder and spiritual leader of the humanistic psychology movement and he did not believe humans studied on only abnormality and emotional disturbed sampling yields only a crippling psychology ignoring the positive human qualities.

Limitations and Criticisms of Theory
Lazarus and Beutler (1999) states the eclecticism made up of what is selected from different sources is a mixed blessing.
On one hand, interdisciplinary research requires a disseminate of knowledge which promotes unyielding integrative psychotherapy. It proves to be flexible and it firms the practitioner's personalistic attributes while addressing the uniqueness of the client. An example of an eclectic counselor would experience their client a positive outcome to a technique and be satisfied, as a consequence the client is merely trying to please the counselor and adapt to the counselor's view than become fully empowered in self. Gilliland, James, and Bower (1989) as cited by Lazarus and Beutler (1999) contend "bits and pieces from different theoretical systems can be integrated within one counseling session with a client, to provide a stronger therapeutic treatment" (p.
294).
Lazarus and Beutler (1999) state the concern for eclecticism with innovative approaches is the various circumstances and inability to replicate the services to the client. Novice counselors need direction and decision-making criteria to articulate treatment plans. The emphasis on therapeutic actions deemed effective and efficient practices offered are theoretical integrationism and technical eclecticism, the latter being the best fit (Lazarus & Beutler, 1999). The consistent appeal to eclecticism is the feeling, belief, or experience counselor say what works best, either generally or well-suited to individual's immediate needs and can work within their own preference and capability of the counselor. A downfall to these ideologies may be counselors are more likely to label their activities than explain reasoned operations performed and how they decide on procedures.
Personal View of Personality Development In Indian country, I wanted the best explanation for why people behave the way they do on the reservations. I personally believe we are created to become human and what it means to be a sacred or holy person is seen in daily activities. Albert White Hat, my mentor and teacher, stated "Lakota spirituality is not a religious life, it is a way of life with respect and honor, that is what the Lakota peoples philosophy is" (Youtube).
