Which movement emphasizes freedom, growth, self-actualization and creativity?

• A. Humanistic Psychology
• B. Self-Actualization
• C. Incongruence
• D. Accurate Empathic Understanding

Answer: (A)

This describes Humanistic Psychology. This movement centers on the idea that people have freedom to choose, grow, and express their creativity, aiming for self-actualization and a fuller, more meaningful life. It arose as a response to both behaviorism and psychoanalysis, emphasizing subjective experience, personal growth, and the inherent potential within each person. While self-actualization is a core concept within this framework, it is not the movement itself. Incongruence is a term used by Rogers to describe a gap between self-concept and experience, and accurate empathic understanding is a therapist's skill used within this approach.
