US psychologist Abraham H. Maslow's A Theory of Human Motivation is
a classic of psychological research that helped change the field
for good. Like many field-changing thinkers, Maslow was not just a
talented researcher, he was also a creative thinker - able to see
things from a new perspective and show them in a different light.
At a time when psychology was dominated by two major schools of
thought, Maslow was able to forge a new, third paradigm, that
remains influential today. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis had
developed the idea of understanding the mind through dialogue
between patient and analyst. The behaviorism of Ivan Pavlov and
John Watson had focused on comprehending the mind through behaviors
that could be measured, trained, and changed. Maslow, however,
generated new ideas, forging what he called "positive" or
"humanistic psychology". His argument was that humans are
psychologically motivated by a series of hierarchical needs,
starting with the most essential first. Maslow thought it important
for the advancement of psychology to identify, group and rank these
needs in terms of priority. His belief in the value of this third
way was important in leading those who studied psychology to
redefine the discipline, and so see it in new ways.
