Death and Dying Flashcards
A person must satisfy lower level basic needs before moving on to meet higher-level growth needs. After meeting lower levels of needs, a person can reach the highest level of self-actualization. Which model is this?
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Stages of Death and Dying:
“Why me?”/ rage, resentment.
Anger
Maintain physical organism. These are biological needs such as food, water, oxygen, constant body temperature. If a person is deprived of these needs, he will die.
Physiological Needs
Bottom Tier, 1
- Lax pattern of parenting.
- Parents make relatively few demands.
- Permit children to feel express feelings and impulses.
- Do not closely monroe children’s activities.
- Rarely exert firm control over behavior.
Permissive Parent
People need a stable, firmly-based level or self-respect and respect from others. If a person does not feel satisfied or valued, he feels week worthless, weak, and helpless and his behavior is dominated by attempts to gain respect and fame.
Ego/Esteem Needs
Tier 4
Stages of Death and Dying:
Attempt to avery fate by being amiable and cooperative.
Bargaining
- Flexible style of parenting.
- Allow children autonomy but explain restrictions.
- Responsive to child’s needs and points of view.
- Expect child to comply with restrictions and will use power and reason, if necessary to gain compliance.
Authoritative Parenting.
Feel safe from harm, danger, threat of destruction. Need regularity, some predictability (origin of cognitive needs - to understand, make sense of the world).
Safety Needs
Tier 2
Assurance that one is loved, is worthy, is acceptable because he is accepted. Love needs demand unconditional acceptance, not “i will love you if you achieve.”
Love and Belonging Needs
Tier 3
Need to be oneself, to act consistently with who one is. Self-actulization is an ongoing process. Developing potential, becoming, being what one is capable of being. Makes possible true objectivity - dealing with world as it is, rather than as one needs it to be. Free to really do what you want to do. Moments when everything is right (peak experience); glimmer of what is like to be complete. One is in a position to finding’s true calling; i.e. being an artist, writer, musician, etc. Only 1% of the population consistently operates at this level.
Self-Actualization
Top Tier, 5
Stages of Death and Dying:
Sense of loss and grief.
Depression
- Very restrictive parenting; adults set all rules and expect strict obedience.
- Don’t give an example for the rules.
- Rely on punitive discipline methods.
Authoritarian Parenting
Stages of Death and Dying:
Neither depressed nor angry; devoid of feeling and increasingly detached.
Acceptance
Age that “Death is irreversible”
Age 7
Stage of Death and Dying:
“It’s not me”
Denial and Isolation
