This study examines Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and the concept of peak experience from the perspective of Christian counseling, focusing on his explanation of human motivation through a hierarchy of needs and its later expansion to include cognitive, aesthetic, and self-transcendence needs. Maslow’s theory provides valuable insights into understanding human beings as holistic persons who seek meaning, growth, relationships, and transcendence; however, it does not adequately address human sinfulness, repentance, and salvation, and tends to interpret transcendence and spirituality primarily in terms of human experience. Although peak experiences share certain phenomenological similarities with experiences of the Holy Spirit, the latter are characterized by a personal relationship with God, conviction of sin, repentance, and the fruit of the Spirit, suggesting that Christian counseling may critically appropriate Maslow’s insights while affirming that the ultimate fulfillment of human needs and authentic self-transcendence are realized through a relationship with God.
