Motivational Therapy, established in the early 1950s by psychologist Abraham Maslow, is a type of psychotherapy that aims to assist individuals in identifying and overcoming the motivational roadblocks that are preventing them from achieving fulfillment in their lives. According to Maslow, individuals are driven by a desire to meet their fundamental needs, such as love, connection, security, and confidence.
Motivational Therapy owes a lot to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The model offers valuable insight into the reasons driving people's actions and empowers therapists to uncover potential roadblocks hindering clients' success. The theory called Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs proposes that individuals strive to fulfill their fundamental necessities such as:
Food, Water, Air, Shelter, Sleep, etc.
Physical Safety, Financial Security, Relationships, Friendship, Family
Self Esteem, Achievement, Respect, Personal Growth, Fulfillment
According to Maslow, one cannot fulfill their higher-level necessities before satisfying their basic needs. Let's take an instance, a person who is starving cannot concentrate on anything else until they quench their hunger. Once their basic needs such as hunger, thirst, and shelter are fulfilled, then they can shift their focus to fulfilling their higher-level needs.
