'''Humanistic psychology''' emerged around the same time as the [[cognitive revolution]] and like [[cognitive psychology]] it was in large part a reaction to [[behavioral psychology]]. However, it took a very different direction and views itself as also a response to [[psychoanalytic psychology]]. Humanistic psychology attempted to embrace the [[human condition]]. It focuses on people as individuals, as a whole and not components and as a social creature that has values, expectations, choices and responsibilities.

One of the most well known examples of the humanistic paradigm is the work of [[Abraham Maslow]] and his concept of the [[Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs | Hierarchy of Needs]]. Maslow used his concept to describe psychological illness as emerging from the conflict between the idealized self and the perceived actual self. [[Carl Roger]]'s work on [[client-centered therapy]] was also embraced by many humanistic psychologist.

Some researchers do use the humanistic paradigm, but most of this work focuses on [[case study]] and attempts to describe the [[human condition]] rather then a systematic study or the use of the [[scientific method]].
