During the time when Carl Rogers was first developing his Person-Centred therapy – in the 1940s – another US psychologist, Abraham Maslow (born just six years after Rogers), conceived an idea that has become known as ‘Maslow’s hierarchy of needs’.

This takes the form of a triangle or pyramid shape, representing what humans need in order to be able to move towards self-actualisation.

Abraham-Maslow
Published as a journal article in 1943, Maslow’s theory fitted with Rogers’ childhood observation of the potatoes striving to grow in the cellar, as well as his experience working with disturbed children, war veterans and other clients.
