Differences between cognitivist and humanistic explanation of human behavior

Sagot :

Answer:

Cognitive psychology: attempts to scientifically study information processing in human beings; strong emphasis on neurophysiology.

Cognitive behavioral therapy: a branch of clinical/counseling psychology that tries to use principles of cognitive psychology to reduce psychological distress and maladaptive thoughts and behavior. Tends to be very rationalistic (a psychology of the head, not the heart).

Humanistic psychology: attempts to understand the many different dimensions of human personality (what is a human being? what gives life meaning and brings genuine happiness?), and to apply this knowledge to counseling or social/cultural improvement. Limitations of humanistic psychology at present are tendencies (a) to merely be vague pseudo-science, rather than involve sound scientific reasoning, and (b) a neglect (if not contempt) of traditional approaches to morality and spirituality; both of these limitations, however, can be remedied and might be considered areas of potential growth within the field. I hope that was helpful. A brainlest would be helpful for me. I would much appreciate it.
