MASLOW, ABRAHAM H.
MASLOW, ABRAHAM H. (1908–1970), U.S. psychologist. Maslow was professor and chairman of the psychology department at Brandeis University from 1951. He was president of the American Psychological Association. Maslow was best known as a personality theorist, interested in motivational structure. In his work, he conceptualized within a phenomenological frame of reference that emphasizes the inherent goodness of man. He postulated a hierarchical theory of human motivation, wherein needs arrange themselves in a hierarchy from basic biological needs to those of self-esteem and self-actualization. Maslow's books include: Principles of Abnormal Psychology (1951) with B. Mittelmann; Motivation and Personality (1954); New Knowledge in Human Values (1959); and Towarda Psychology of Being (1962).
