Quote by Abraham Maslow
The study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy. The study of self-actualizing people must be the basis for a more universal science of psychology
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of studying and understanding individuals who have reached their full potential and achieved self-actualization, rather than solely focusing on those who are dysfunctional or unhealthy. By studying those who have thrived and reached their highest potential, we can develop a more comprehensive and universal understanding of psychology. It suggests that limited knowledge will emerge from studying only the negative aspects of human behavior, while a broader understanding can be gained by observing successful and self-fulfilled individuals.
