Abstract

The article discusses the results of our research on self-actualization among people with parental deprivation. For decades, one of the most popular ideas in Maslow‘s theory is the idea that people have an inborn desire to be self-actualized, in his words "What a man can be, he must be" and parent‘s love and acceptance lays the groundwork for a child‘s success in self-actualization. Consequently, there can be an assumption, that people, who had parental deprivation in childhood, either because of absence of a parent(s) or the failure of the main functions of the role of a parent(s), will have difficulties on the path of achieving self-actualization. To illuminate this uncharted area, we have conducted a research and examined 140 people 21-35 years old, of which 70 (research group) had parental deprivation before the age of 10, and the other 70 (normative group) did not have such an issue.
