*Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Abraham Maslow moved away from the view that people are controlled by the

subconscious or by the environment . He believed individuals are controlled by their

values and the choices they make. He devised a model of true human needs showing that a

well-adjusted person satisfies needs on level 1 before the other needs on level 2, etc. before the last level can be fulfilled and people can

reach their fullest potential.

Physiological needs:

• Food, shelter, sexual satisfaction, needs for basic survival.

Safety needs:

• The need to feel safe within your environment. Also refers to emotional and physical safety.

Social Needs:

• The need for love, friendship and belonging

Esteem needs:

• The need for self-respect, status and recognition from others.

Self-actualization:

• The point of reaching one’s full potential.
