biological reasons for the illness.

Discussion

The American psychologist Abraham Maslow critisized the limitations of

behaviorism and psychoanalysis (the 1st and the 2nd Force in psychology), and
formulated the principles of a new perspective, the humanistic psychology (the 3rd
Force). Maslows main objection against behaviorism was that the study of animals
(rats, pigeons) has no relevance for the understanding of higher human qualities:

love, self-consciousness, self-determination, personal freedom, morality, art,

philosophy, religion, and science. In spite of the popularity of humanistic
psychology, its founders Maslow and Sutich themselves grew dissatisfied with the
conceptual framework they had originally created and became increasingly aware
that they had left out an extremely important element - the spiritual dimension of
the human psyche. Thus the transpersonal psychology (the 4th Force) emerged.
Transpersonal psychology is a field centered on the spiritual aspects of human life.
It is concerned with the study of humanitys highest potential and with the
recognition, understanding and realization of unitive, spiritual and transcendent
states of consciousness. (adapted from Maslow & Sutich, Journal of Transpersonal
Psychology, 1969). How can this new way of thinking help us in a better
understanding of the human psyche?

Psihologul american Abraham Maslow critisized limitele de behaviorismul si

psihanaliza (1 i 2 Fora n psihologie), i a formulat principiile de o noua
perspectiva, psihologia umanist (a 3-a Forei). Obiecia principal a lui Maslow
mpotriva behaviorism a fost c studiul de animale (obolani, porumbei) nu are nici
o relevan pentru nelegerea a calitilor umane mai mari: dragoste, contiina de
sine, auto-determinare, libertate personal, moralitatea, arta, filozofie, religie, si
stiinta .n ciuda popularitii de psihologiei umaniste, fondatorii ei Maslow i Sutich
s-au crescut nemulumii de conceptual cadru au creat iniial i au devenit din ce n
ce contieni de faptul c au lsat un element extrem de important - dimensiunea
spiritual a psihicului uman. Astfel, psihologia transpersonal (a 4-a Forei) a
aprut. Psihologia transpersonal este un domeniu centrat pe aspectele spirituale
ale vieii umane. Acesta este preocupat'' cu studiul de cel mai mare potenial
umanitii i cu recunoaterea, nelegerea i realizarea de statele unitiv, spiritual
i transcendent de contiin ". (adaptat de la Maslow & Sutich, Jurnalul de
Psihologie Transpersonal, 1969). Cum se poate acest nou mod de a gndi ne ajut
la o mai bun nelegere a psihicului uman?
