Abraham Maslow’s Holistic-Dynamic Theory of Personality
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 9 page paper including abstract that discusses Maslow’s holistic-dynamic theory of personality. Personality has been studied in regards to various psychological approaches including psychoanalytical theories, learning theories, dispositional theories and humanistic psychology theories among others. Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) developed theories of personality from a humanistic psychological standpoint. His holistic-dynamic theory of personality advocates that individuals require the fulfillment of certain fundamental needs in order to develop their personality and use their intelligence efficiently, acquire higher functioning and problem solving proficiently. Basic needs consisted of safety, love and respect. A more complex hierarchy of needs addressed the more comprehensive concepts of belongingness, esteem, self-esteem and self-actualization among others. Without the gratification of having these fundamental needs met, individuals will suffer frustration and eventually psychological “sickness”. Within the work environment, individuals experience boredom, lack of energy, low self-esteem and personal and professional problems seems insurmountable. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Amicus Brief: Recovered Memories
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. The judicial system relies solely upon the unadulterated value of eyewitness testimony; when that commitment to justice is compromised, the entire jury-by-trial upon which civilized society depends is cast into permanent disrepair where many innocent people will ultimately suffer for such legal transgression. The use of recovered memories in statements of eyewitnesses is not only askew of the fundamental principles of evidentiary validity but also ignores the very clear research findings that illustrate how detrimental such testimony can be to trial outcome. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
