I am troubled by the section of text that claims the body will not show signs of a deficiency in the first four levels. The text includes the survival needs. How does the body not show the effects of a deficiency in survival needs?

I think this is a mistake in the text

This article has changed into more of an extension of Maslow's work. In particular the diagram provided radically extends Maslow's original and in doing so does his heirarchy a considerable dis-service. The article should be edited to be true to the subject rather than to convey the writer's personal understandings and philosophies. LookingGlass (talk) 18:56, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The claim that Maslow's Hierarchy "has largely been supplanted by attachment theory in graduate and clinical psychology and psychiatry" seems to be far too broad. Attachment theory does not attempt to provide a window into the needs of mature, successful adults. Which is not to say that Maslow's is valid; simply that it addresses developmental stages that are not addressed by attachment theory, making it impossible for attachment theory to replace or supplant it. They are apples and oranges.
