Abstract
First and foremost, humanistic psychology originated during
the 1960’s which sought out to examine the components of selfidentity,
self-growth, and self-worth after the post-war American
society [1]. Humanistic psychology espoused the belief that mental
illness psychologists examined the patient in a holistic manner
along with the philosophy of the “growth-driven self” [1] The

of helping mental illness in comparison to previous theories of
psychoanalysis (Freud) and behaviorism (Tolman) did exist
