Slideshow presentation goes over the three essential interpersonal needs and a bit about Schulz himself.

1. WILLIAM SCHUTZ
PH.D. AND THE
INTERPERSONAL
NEEDS THEORYPRESENTATION BY MERCY NEUMARK

2. William Schutz Ph.D. was an
American psychologist
(1925-2002), teacher,
author and researcher. He
is known as the pioneer of
the human potential
movement. There were
training conferences which
he led that were based on
his theory of interpersonal
behavior.

3. Born in Chicago, Schutz
earned his Ph.D. at UCLA and
began his teaching career at
the University of Chicago in
1950. Later in life, William
taught at Tufts University,
Harvard University, UC
Berkeley and the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine
in the Bronx. Ultimately he
became chairman of the
holistic studies department
at Antioch University, leaving
there in 1983.

4. Schutz also worked as a consultant with US
military as well as many businesses from the
1950s on. He researched comprehension and
forecasting of how any given group of men would
interact.

5. His time working with the
Navy resulted in his first book,
FIRO: A Three-Dimensional
Theory of Interpersonal
Behavior (1958), which
presented the Fundamental
Interpersonal Relations
Orientation (FIRO) theory.

6. WITHIN THIS THEORY HE INDENTIFIED THREE
ESSENTIAL INTERPERSONAL NEEDS:
*NEED FOR INCLUSION
*NEED FOR CONTROL
*NEED FOR AFFECTION

7. DEFINITION OF
INCLUSION
Inclusion: noun in·clu·sion in-ˈklü-zhən
: the act of including: the state of being included

8. • According to Schutz, this is the motivation to create and preserve
a reasonable interaction and association with people.
• It is both when a person wants to be included as well as making
others feel essential. Giving attention and receiving recognition is
prominent.

9. DEFINITION OF
CONTROL
verb con·trol kən-ˈtrōl
: to direct the behavior of (a person or animal): to cause (a
person or animal) to do what you want
: to have power over (something)
: to direct the actions or function of (something): to cause
(something) to act or function in a certain way.

10. Power and control over others within your social group.
It’s the impulse to institute and preserve an agreeable
connection with people with respect to authority and
direction. Are you being at the top or being at bottom of
the social network.

11. There is also an opposite affect: some people are passive and
dependent.
These people wish their paths to be led by others which has a very
negative view, seeing these people as weak.
On the whole, these types of
people are: more trusting,
courteous, and dutiful. They are
agreeable to help. It’s rare to find
someone that gives and gets
power personality-wise.

12. DEFINITION OF AFFECTION
noun af·fec·tion ə-ˈfek-shən
: a feeling of liking and caring for someone or something
affections: feelings of love: a person's romantic feelings

13. Affection is the desire to
establish and maintain an
emotional connection with
people, i.e. respect, love
and affection.
