1. Humanistic theory views physical and mental factors as interrelated and recognizes that a change in one may result in a change in another. This holistic perspective is the major concept of the humanistic theory. Principles of this theory stress that people have the power or potential to solve their own problems and are not passive recipients of care given by psychiatric professionals. Individuals are influenced by their past and the full range of life experiences, not simply by the present situation.
