Is there an alternative model of human psychology? Would be nice if science could tell us something even if Maslow, or Freud, or cognitive-behavioral therapy each have theoretical deficiencies.
- tmnvix 3y agoNot sure if this is really an answer to your question, but you might find this discussion between Sam Harris and Jay Garfield interesting: https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/282-do-you-really-have-a-self https://www.samharris.org/podcasts/making-sense-episodes/282... It's been a while since I listened to it, but if I remember rightly they spend some time talking about a model of human psychology that doesn't depend on any concept of an actual 'self'. Instead, they talk about competing motivations and how they give rise to an illusion of a self.
