Question

Which school of thought emphasizes that the psychological needs for love, self-esteem, belonging, self-expression, creativity, and spirituality are just as important as the biological needs for food and water?

Answer 1

Humanism makes this emphasis.

Humanisms seeks to understand an individual as a whole, as a conscious and intentional being. It is a positive approach, centering more on the qualities of the individual and his/her nature, more than focusing on his/her issues.

This approach wants centers on the individual's perception of him/herself in order to reach fulfillment regarding his/her life. This is why it emphasizes the equal importance of the psychological needs for love, self-esteem, belonging, self-expression, creativity and spirituality as biological needs.
