From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In the English language, a split infinitive or cleft infinitive is a grammatical construction in which a word or phrase comes between the to and the bare infinitive of the to form of the infinitive verb. Usually an adverb or adverbial phrase comes between them. A well-known example occurs in the opening sequence of the Star Trek television series: to boldly go where no man has gone before; the adverb boldly is said to split the infinitive to go.
Abraham Maslow Biography: The Father of Humanistic Psychology & Self Actualization Theory. Abraham Maslow was one of the strongest proponents of the humanistic movement in psychology and also one of the biggest critics of behaviorism and psychoanalysis.
In the early 1960s, Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and several other psychologists proclaimed an alternative to the two main theories then dominating psychology (Freudian theory and behavioral theory). They called it third force psychology, also known as humanistic psychology. Although we do not have a chapter titled Humanistic Psychology, Part Three of Chapter 9 (Motivation) is devoted to Maslow's theory, and Part Two of Chapter 13 (Therapies) includes the ideas of Carl Rogers. Both were key figures in the Third Force movement.
