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.
