ABRAHAM MASLOW'S THEORY
Abraham Harold Maslow was born on April 1, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. He was the first child of seven siblings. Both parents were uneducated Jewish adherents who immigrated from Russia. Because really hope their children succeed in the new world, his parents forced Maslow and his siblings study hard in order to achieve success in academics. No wonder childhood and adolescence, Maslow became lone child and spent his days with the book.
Maslow got the position of the department of psychology at Branders from 1951 to 1969. there he met Kurt Goldstein, who provide ideas or thoughts of self-actualization in his famous book, The Organism (1934). Here also he began to introduce something great humanistic psychology is more important to him than the theories he made.
Maslow developed these ideas further and called hirearki needs:
Physiological needs
These include the need for oxygen, water, protein, salt, sugar, calcium, and others such as minerals and vitamins. This, too, including the need to maintain the pH to be balanced and appropriate temperature. And also, there is a need for active, rest, sleep, to escape from the unneeded (CO2, sweat, urine, and feces), to guard against the pain.
The need for security
If physiological needs are considered, then this second layer needs arise. You will increasingly want to find situations and conditions that are safe, stable and protected. You will slowly want structure and order. Conversely, if the needs of the second layer is viewed negatively, your attention will be focused not on issues of hunger and thirst, but the fear and anxiety. Among adults in the United States, this need will manifest in their very strong desire to live next to good neighbors, a secure job, a mature retirement planning, insurance, and so forth.
The need of love and longing
The need to own or possess. When physiological and safety needs are met, the need arose the third layer. You begin to feel the need friends, lovers, children and form relationships based on feelings of Others. Viewed negatively, you will be more worried about solitude and loneliness. In everyday life, this need can form a desire to get married, have families, become part of a group or community.
Self-Esteem needs
After that we will seek self-esteem. Maslow says that there are two forms of self-esteem needs are: the shape of the weak and strong. Weak form is our need for respect of others, the need for status, glory, honor, attention, reputation, appreciation and even dominance. While strong is our need for confidence, competence, success, independence and freedom. The second form is more powerful because we do not release it once obtained, in contrast to our need for respect of others. Negative form of the need for self-esteem is low self-esteem and inferiority complexes. Maslow justify Adler as saying that the problem is the basis for psychological problems. In modern countries, most people are only concerned with physiological and safety needs. Often people do not really care about their needs for love and longing.
Self-actualization needs
namely the need to recognize reality. So humans have a strong desire to know, understand just open about himself, but also beyond himself. This last level is a bit different from the four previous level. Maslow called these levels with different terms: motivation of growth (as opposed to motivation devisit), needs to exist (being-needs) or B-Needs (as opposed to D-Needs). B-Needs is the need for self-actualization. Self-actualization needs requires no balancing or homeostatic. Once obtained, he will continue to be felt. This requirement will indeed increase if we “spread”. These needs include the desire to continually realize the potentials themselves, the desire to “become what you can”. This need is more of a problem to be perfect, to be “you” the truth. Hence the need is called self-actualization.

Comment:
From this psychological theory of Abraham Maslow, in this article tell about a little biography about abraham maslow. He has a theory about hierarci needs in human life, there are pyschological needs (the basic needs such as sleep, drink, rest, breathe oxygen), the needs for security (good neighbor, a secure job, etc), the need of love and longing (love from someone who loved you), self-esteem needs (powerful, respect of others), and self actualization needs (to be perfect, to be you"). Everyone have this needs, when we was born until die, so important for us to learn this theory and I think that very interesting to understand psichology in ourself.
