Abraham Harold Maslow was born April 1, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. He first studied law at the City College of New York (CCNY).After that he married and he attended University of Wisconsin and studied psychology. After graduation he became so much intrested in psychology and work on it for his whole life. He died on June 8 1970, because of a heart attack after years of ill health.
Maslow made experiments on monkeys early in his career and he observed that some needs take priority over the others. For instance if you are hungry and thirsty you will need to try to take care of the thirst first. Because you may live without food for weeks but you can live without water only a couple of days. When you are thirsty and somebody/something block you to breathe you definitely will want to ge rid of it. Because you can live without breath at most a couple minutes. Like this some needs are precedence over others and he saw human beings' needs arranged like a ladder. Maslow formed his famous hierarcy of needs by this idea. His idea was original. Before him only illnesses and abnormality was concerned but he worked on positive mental health. His work was a milestone on human pyschology and gave rise to several different therapies.
1. The physiological needs: These contains oxygen, water, protein, minerals,vitamins, maintaining the pH balance, temperature, being active, resting, sleeping, getting rid of wastes (CO2, sweat, urine), avoiding pain and having sex.
2. The safety and security needs: When the first kind of needs are taken care of you will need the second type of needs and you will become intrested in being safe and protected.
3. The love and belonging needs: The third level shows up when the first two needs are taken care of. You will start to need relationships with others.
4. The esteem needs: Subsequently you will need to be respected and you will need attention, fame, appreciation and dignity. And after that you will need achievement, competence and independence.
5. Self-actualization: The highest level of needs is a bit different from the others. Because this kind doesn’t involve balance. This kind is the need to have power.
