Physiological needs are the very basic needs such as air, water, food, sleep, etc.

When these are not satisfied we may feel sickness, irritation, pain, discomfort, etc.

These feelings motivate us to alleviate them as soon as possible.

Once they are alleviated, we may think about other things.

Safety needs have to do with establishing stability and consistency in a chaotic world. These needs are mostly

psychological in nature.

We need the security of a home and family. However, if a family is dysfunctional, (i.e. an abusive

husband) the person/wife cannot move to the next level because they are constantly concerned for their safety.

Love and belongingness have to wait until they are no longer cringing in fear.

Love and belongingness are next on the ladder. Humans have a desire to belong to groups: clubs, work

groups, religious groups, family, gangs, etc. We need to feel loved (non-sexual) by others, to be

accepted by others. Performers appreciate applause. We need to be needed.

There are two types of esteem needs. 1) Self-esteem which results from competence or mastery

of a task. 2) Attention and recognition that comes from others.

This is similar to the belongingness level, however, wanting admiration has to do with the need for power.

The need for self-actualization is "the desire to become more and the more what one is, to

become everything that one is capable of becoming."

People who have everything can maximize their potential. They can seek knowledge, peace, esthetic experiences, self-

fulfillment, oneness with God, etc.

What is Attachment?

Attachment refers to emotional bonds between an infant and his or her care givers, usually the parents.

Such bonding is basic to a child's life, and supportive bonds provide a secure emotional base for the later

child or adult to build relationships.

Attachment Disorders indicate

limiting relationship bonds that impede social and emotional development throughout life.

The effects of limiting relationship bonds may be most obvious in a child's ability to learn and an

adult's ability to relate.
