    All situations and circumstances are different. Consequently, neither is superior to the other. Although, I can see the nomothetic being more susceptible for uses that could manipulate mass numbers of people.
    There within lies the problem for me. It isn’t art or science. It’s art and science.

    If the whole idea behind science is to make universal predictions about a given phenomenon, how does the idiographic approach fit in all this? Humanistic approach is regarded as unscientific because it makes use of this approach. Also, Freud's Psychodynamic theory utilises the idographic approach and makes universal claims about the human behaviour and his apprach too is widely regarded as unscientific. How can a subjective experience lead to universally objective reality

      Yep - that's spot on. The criticism of the idiographic approach is that it doesn't fit with the scientific approach (objectivity, universal laws) and is illustrated with the humanistic and psychodynamic approaches as you mentioned.

      Abraham Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs comes from a universal objective reality, and it is a humanistic perspective. All humans civilizations include shelter as a means of safety. The rest of the hierarchy can be clearly observed within societies.

      @@Anna-ii3ee i totally get it. However, Maslow's emphasis that it should be a pyramid like hierarchy of needs does not really stand as accurate. It's more of a circle than a pyramid. Also not acheiving one of those does not stop me from actauliseing myself.

      @@ahmadsamir5866 I agree that it needn’t be causal or one after the other. It would probably be easier to reach the apex, though.
