Question 40

Amara is a highly successful corporate lawyer who has financial security and a supportive family, yet she feels deeply unfulfilled because she has always wanted to be a creative landscape painter. She feels a constant conflict between the person she is currently and the person she desperately wants to be.

With reference to Amara's situation, explain what either Rogers meant by the concept of 'congruence' (or 'incongruence') or Maslow meant by the concept of 'self-actualisation'.
