The Nature of Human Functioning
« on: June 18, 2008, 10:55:55 AM »
In good human functioning, the psychologically healthy human being is a person whose organismic self-regulation is working properly. New gestalts emerge with fluidity and are completed. Since all parts of the self are integrated and available, the individual responds adequately to wants and needs , and to what happens in the environment. One is capable of realistically evaluating the situation and responsibly initiating actions in accordance to who one is and what the situation requires. Sufficient self-support and behavior mirrors a freshness of response with a clear-sightedness and willingness to take on responsibility.The person with psychological health lives in the present moment with awareness, cognizant of the past and filled with excitement of the future. To move with vigor and liveliness towards higher levels of growth is healthy functioning.
