This publication delves into two significant psychological theories: self-actualization and psychoanalytic theory. It outlines Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, illustrating how individuals must satisfy basic physiological and psychological needs to reach self-actualization. Furthermore, it examines Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, which posits that human behavior is influenced by unconscious forces and the dynamic between the id, ego, and superego. Understanding these theories provides valuable insights into personal development and the complexities of human behavior, offering a framework for individuals to navigate their psychological growth and emotional well-being.
