According to Carl Rogers, abnormal behaviour results from a person's distorted view of himself or herself. Rogers believed that individuals have an innate drive towards self-actualization, or achieving their full potential. However, when individuals experience a discrepancy between their ideal self (the person they want to be) and their real self (the person they actually are), they may develop psychological issues, including abnormal behaviour. This discrepancy can lead to negative feelings such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, which can impact behaviour in maladaptive ways.
