Healthy Personality Typology Psychologists are increasingly critical of these traditions, because they believed that behaviorism and psychoanalysis provided a limited view of human nature, ignoring the peaks to which people of potential would climb. Neither behaviorism nor psychoanalysis talks about our potential for growth, our desire to be better and more than we are, so this view gives a peimistic picture of human nature. Meanwhile, growth psychology's picture of human nature is optimistic and full of hope. They believe in our capacity to expand, enrich, develop and fulfill ourselves, to become all that we are capable of being. Proponents of the human potential movement argue that there is a certain level of growth and development is very necessary, which goes beyond normality, and they suggest that there is a more advanced level of growth in order to realize/actualize all its potential. In this book, Gordon Allport, Carl Rogers, Erich Fromm, Abraham Maslow, Carl Jung, Viktor Frankl, and Fritz Perls discuss healthy personality models. Their theories were chosen because their theories were developed in a more complete and contemporary manner. Although not all of these theorists are considered experts in developmental psychology, they nevertheless posit a level of personality development that goes beyond normality, and is thus still related to the spirit of psychology. Mature People (Allport Model) Allport was one of the first psychologists in America to focus on the healthy personality rather than the neurotic personality. Allport was more optimistic about human nature than Freud, who noticed an extraordinary compassion for humans, and their qualities that had their origins in childhood. A healthy person's view is forward, to contemporary events and future events, thereby forming a lot of freedom in choice and action. Healthy humans have a continuous need for variety, for new sensations and challenges. They don't like routine things so they always try to look for new experiences. They take risks, speculate, and look for new things. All of these activities generate tension. But according to Allport, it is only through experiences and risks that give rise to new tensions that humans grow quickly. Allport was concerned with the relationship between a baby and its mother, especially with the amount of security and affection the mother provided for the child. If the baby receives sufficient security and love, positive psychological growth will occur throughout the time of emergence. So it is clear, the role of the mother is very important. A mother who doesn't give love and affection If the baby has enough security then the baby will be insecure, aggressive, demanding, jealous, egocentric and his/her psychological growth will be lost. These maturity criteria are Allport's views on the special traits of a healthy personality. 1. Expansion of the Sense of Self. When people mature. He developed concerns in outside oneself and must expand oneself into activities. The more fully a person is involved in various activities/people/ideas, the healthier he or she is psychologically. 2. Warm Self-Relationships with Other People Allport distinguishes two types: a) Capacity for intimacy It is a feeling and expansion of the self that is well developed. Psychologically healthy people are able to pay attention to intimacy (love) towards parents, children, partners and close friends. b) Capacity for emotion Healthy people have the capacity for empathy, which arises through the imaginative expansion of one's own feelings towards humanity in the community. As a result of the capacity for compassion: a mature personality, patient with people's behavior and not punishing them; willing to accept human weaknesses and realize that he has his own weaknesses. c). Emotional Safety The quality of emotional security is being patient with disappointment, being able to accept oneself and being able to control their emotions. d). Realistic Perception Chat people view their world objectively, they accept reality as it is. 3. Skills and Tasks Work and responsibility provide meaning and a sense of continuity to life. It is impossible to achieve maturity and positive psychological health without dedication, commitment and skills in carrying out every job. 4. Self-Understanding Adequate self-knowledge requires an understanding of the relationship and differences between the image of oneself one has and one's actual self. People who have a high level of self- understanding are unlikely to project their negative personal qualities onto other people, but are also open to other people's opinions in developing an objective self-image. 5. A Unifying Philosophy of Life Allport called this unifying impulse "direction" (directness),. This direction and guides all aspects of a person's life towards a goal (or set of goals) and gives the person a reason to live. Another thing that plays a role in a unifying philosophy of life is values and conscience.
