Human Psychosocial Needs Documented

Abstract

There is a need for the compilation of a list of all human psychosocial needs with an accompanying justification for each for several reasons; as knowledge of itself and for itself about our species; for a greater understanding of the socialisation process potentially leading to improved parenting; for more precise descriptions of need and consequences of absence that cause human dysfunction including psychosis among other, thereby enabling more effective research into cause and treatment. This brief theoretical article provides such a list in a figure with a brief explanation for the need of each. There are two figures. Firstly, socialization as a process is depicted, then the second figure is the list of all human psychosocial needs. It contains a rationale for variable inclusion as well as explanation of consequence of privation and as such introduces some innovative and paradigm changing ideas regarding psychosocial need and cause of mental health issues.
