Humanists focus on the whole life experience. Humanists consider that the only source of better living comes from the human experience of living ethically.

Humanists consider that human ability is the creative and impelling force to gain knowledge.

Psychodynamic theorist states there are unconscious factors that stays in the subtle mind and has a large impact on the personality when they grow as adults. It pays emphasis on psychological aspect of an individual neglecting the biological and health factors.

Answer:

Free will

Step-by-step explanation:

The humanists approach to psychology will be base on the assumption that every single activity that humans do will be driven by our own free will to fully realize/express our full potential.

These psychologists would use this desire to identify why human beings behave a certain way and analyze the type of psychological disorder that might be created because of it.
