Answer: Psychologist

Abraham Maslow was born in 1908 in Brooklyn, New York. Unlike most psychologists before him, who were concerned with the sick or abnormal, Maslow was concerned with the ability of each person to achieve "self-actualization."

Maslow believed that to be successful in each category, one had to be successful in what comes before it. For example, one cannot be successful with safety, if they have not achieved success in physiological needs.
