ABSTRACT

Humanist Psychologists Have Keenly Observed the Consistence between Human Psychology and Human Nature. They Hold That Psychology Must Study Human Psychology from Human Nature; They Attach Importance to Human Dignity, Value, Creativity and Self Realization, and Attribute the Self Realization of Human Nature to the Exertion of Potentials. Different Scholars Have Put Forward Their Own Ideal Human Models under the Condition of Full Exertion of Potentials. in the Process of Its Emergence and Development, Humanistic Psychology Absorbed Ideas of Existential Philosophy, and Had Close Relationship with Religions and Zen. Therefore, It is Necessary and Valuable to Study the Similarity and Difference between Them. Buddhism is as Vast as the Sea; This Paper Attempts to Start with the Concept of “Gestalt” Shared by Humanism, And Primarily Explain the Similarities between Their Basic Views.
