Personality and Growth

Set against the backdrop of a transformative era in America, the course led by psychologist Abraham H. Maslow delved into experiential learning to uncover neglected aspects of personality. Through a mix of lectures and vibrant discussions, students were encouraged to confront their unconscious thoughts and challenge both Maslow's ideas and their own beliefs. This unique approach fostered critical thinking and personal responsibility, reflecting the broader societal shifts occurring during the 1963-'64 winter term at Brandeis University.
