Шарлота Бюлер: хуманистична традиция в изследването на жизнения път на личността
Charlote Buhler: humanistic tradition in studying the human life-span

Summary/Abstract: The study presents Charlotte Buhler’s (1893–1974) original contributions, which have lasting impact on the state-of-the-art developmental psychology. The personality-centered, holistic approach of Buhler is one of the basic theoretical premises of the modern life-span psychology. In 1930s, she endorses humanistic psychology’s ideas (the Third Force in psychology) and offers an original conception of personality development. In her and her associates’ considerable biographical and clinical research, Buhler empirically proves the effects of motivation on personality growth and of striving for realizing the existential goals in life on the advancement and the uniqueness of one’s biography and the delaying of the biological and psychological regress. These ideas are the starting point of all contemporary theories of psychological health and are integrated into the theoretical model of psychological well-being’s study.
