1.1) INTRODUCTIONHumanistic theories emerged in the 1950s. We have two types of humanistic theories, the first is Carl Rogers' person-centered theory which is based on how people see themselves in relation to their personal experience and the second theory is Abraham Maslow's self-actualization which is based on i needs that motivate people. In this article both theories will be described in detail and will also be evaluated. 1.2) DISCUSSION 1.2.1) ROGERS' PERSON CENTERED THEORY Self concept is the collection of experiences and beliefs about oneself and how these experiences and beliefs interact to form an image according to the individual's perspective what kind of person he is an individual.

The self-concept is also how we see ourselves and how we present ourselves according to our beliefs about the world and of which we are aware.

People distort their experience the way they want it to be, that is, for the experience to be favorable or great. What people do causes INCONSISTENCE, which is the gap between reality (experience) and self-concept (Wietren, 2014).
