d) I wanted to take psychology.

Explanation:

Humanistic psychology, a direction in psychology derived from the humanistic theory of Abraham Maslow.
Humanistic psychology developed during the 1960s into a movement that was proclaimed the "third force" in psychology (along with psychoanalysis and behaviorism). In human psychology, man is a free, dynamic and creative being, responsible for his own quality of life.
Specific human characteristics such as values, ideals and aspirations cannot be explained by innate urges (such as psychoanalysis), nor by responding to environmental stimuli (behaviorism). The originally healthy and creative nature of man strives not only for the attainment and maintenance of homeostasis, but for the growth and development and realization of human possibilities.
The self-actualized person realized his or her abilities and developed into a healthy and adjusted personality. Humanistic psychology has diverse applications in psychological counseling and psychotherapy practice, as well as for educational purposes. Its goals are to foster self-actualization, self-understanding and mutual understanding.
