Like most good, well-researched theories, there are always exceptions. I do not believe that Maslow ever posed his theory as an absolute, but it is a very reliable theory when applied to the most. Your post has inspired me to look for more exceptions rather than to assume that the rule applies to the clients I work with. Thanks!
