Abstract

The current study is an insight into the concept of ‘Late Bloomers’ with reference to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It examines the role of gratification of safety needs in an individual’s mental health and how starvation for security can lead to a psychological delay and eventually neurosis if the delay becomes permanent. Deprivation of security can result in a slow movement through the other higher emerging needs as well. The paper presents obsessive compulsive disorder as a form of expression of safety seeking mechanism of an individual.
