Are there methods that allow you to grow or develop people in this direction? Are there techniques to help interested people move in this direction?
And the trouble is not that the answer will be: «No, there are no such methods.» The trouble is that the answer will be: «According to the ideas of humanistic psychology, of which A. Maslow was a representative, such methods cannot exist in principle.» A. Maslow wrote: “There can be only one best way to a good life for his patient: to be even more himself. Learning to release the repressed, to know one’s own Self, to listen to the «voice of impulse», to reveal one’s majestic nature, to achieve understanding, penetration, comprehend the truth — that’s what is required.
For the time, this was an appropriate answer. When brains were stamped on people, when human individuality was not respected, people were not listened to — this was relevant. Then it’s relevant. Today, apparently, such an answer about the methodology will already be unsatisfactory, it is no longer possible to dwell on such an answer. If we develop effective trainings that will make people want to become like A. Maslow described them, that will help them become like that, will teach them to be like that — I think that A. Maslow, if he were alive today, he would be with us. For methods that can be used on the path of personal development, see the article Personal growth or personal development
