Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the statement or the list to choose the statement. We do not know what the options are.

What we can do to help you is commenting on the following terms.

The branch of Psychology I choose is Humanism because it is related to this case.

Think of a time in your life when someone you know was having difficulty.

It is the case of a friend who used to have severe low self-esteem. He did not trust himself. He depended so much on the opinions of other people. So he spent his life trying to satisfy other people's opinions. And hurt him a lot. He was never happy.

I tried to talk to him to let him know that he had to accept himself the way he was. I applied the humanistic perspective trying to convince him that he was a complete human being with positives and negatives as we all are.

The humanistic perspective invites us to look at the person as a "whole," not just its parts. It put emphasis on valuable concepts such as freedom, self-acceptance, and self-trust.
