Peak Experiences: Abraham Maslow
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Of the myriad contributions humanistic psychologist Abraham Maslow made to provide a better understanding of that which is the human experience, his description of intangible highs not only stands out as one of the most courageous of psychological postulation in an otherwise scientifically-based industry, but also as a readily applicable elucidation of what mankind had heretofore been making a great effort to explain. Maslow's peaks experiences theory has come under a great deal of critical judgment since its inception, not unlike the vast majority of other alternative theories that challenge the very foundation of scientific provability, but nonetheless has withstood the fierce condemnation to still prove worthy in contemporary society.

Personal Theory: Integrative
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Myriad popular theories share a number of common denominators that afford a much greater opportunity for integration. First and foremost where goals are concerned with the integrative theory is establishing a basis upon which this approach incorporates the best components of each existing theory. The extent to which complete mental/emotional balance equates to a healthy person is both grand and far-reaching; that chemical imbalance, stress or trauma represents some of the most common reasons for dysfunction to set in speaks to the combined internal and external aspects directly associated with mental health. An integrative therapeutic approach serves to address the fact that people often suffer from more than one issue occurring to ultimately tip their mental stability. As such, the primary focus of an integrative theory is to offer the individual several potential avenues toward healing so as not to pigeonhole any one cause as being the single facilitator of imbalance. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

A 5 page paper discussing some of the ongoing points of debate in psychology.

If the absolute truth could be known about each of these concepts, however, likely it would be found to lie somewhere between the extremes. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
