How does humanistic-existential model explain psychological disorders?

Humanistic–Essential Model for Psychological Disorders-
This model focuses on broader aspects of Human Existence.
According to Humanists, human beings are born with a natural tendency to be:

1. Friendly
2. Cooperative
3. Constructive
4. human beings are driven to attain self-actualisation stage. It is fulfilment of potential for goodness and growth.

According to Existentialists:

1. Since birth man has total freedom to give meaning to his existence i.e.feels responsibility.
2. A man also has freedom to avoid that responsibility.
3. Those who do not own responsibility would live empty, inauthentic and dysfunctional life.
4. If humanistic and existentialist aspects of life are in disharmony then abnormal behaviour develops.
