Maslow’s humanistic theory of personality states that people achieve their full potential by moving from basic needs to self-actualization. As a leader of humanistic psychology, Abraham Maslow approached the study of personality psychology by focusing on subjective experiences and free will. He was mainly concerned with an individual’s innate drive toward self-actualization—a state of fulfillment in which a person is achieving at his or her highest level of capability.
