Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Studies in Self-Directed Change
Our first assumption is that under proper conditions, proactive forces emerge in individuals, permitting experimentation with'new behavior and striving toward ideals. White Harlow Rogers (1951) and others have convincingly documented the case for the existence of proactive motivation in human beings. Maslow (1954) has suggested that motives for personal growth and self-actualization emerge when lower-order physiological, safety, relatedness, and ego needs are satisfied to a reasonable degree. We assume, therefore, that conditions can be created whereby many individuals will be able to set goals for themselves and will be able to achieve these goals. Under such conditions, we assume that individuals will be able to make increasingly realistic appraisals of their goals and inadequacies, and that they will become motivated to change themselves.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of self-directed behavior change, exploring the methods and principles that empower individuals to achieve personal growth. Rooted in the humanistic psychology movement of the mid-20th century, the author emphasizes the inherent human capacity for self-actualization and the importance of personal agency in lasting change. Through detailed case studies and experiments conducted within T-groups, the book examines the effectiveness of a structured approach to self-change. Central to this approach is the concept of self-research, where individuals actively observe and record their own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. The author underscores the significance of goal-setting and feedback in facilitating change, demonstrating how these elements enhance motivation and self-awareness. The book explores the dynamics of commitment, feedback, and group interaction, offering insights into how these factors influence the success of self-change efforts. It challenges conventional notions of change as solely driven by external forces, highlighting the transformative power of individual initiative and self-reflection. Ultimately, this book illuminates the potential for personal growth that resides within each individual, providing a practical framework for those seeking to embark on their own journey of self-directed change.
