Answers will vary but should contain the following for full credit.
•   Freud’s psychoanalytic theory assumed psychic determinism, that all action has meaning, and focused on the unconscious level of the mind. The humanists asserted that individuals had free will, focused on the conscious level of the mind, and sought constructive personal growth.
•   Freud argued for the importance of society in constraining one’s biologically based, destructive urges. Rogers argued that others set conditions of worth on us and being too concerned about what we should/ought to do stifled our tendency toward our fullest potential.
•   Freud argued that personality was fully developed by adolescence and unchanging throughout adulthood. Rogers focused on the idea of free will and the ability of the self to become congruent with the organism.
