PERSON-CENTERED THERAPY

SUMMARY OF PERSON-CENTERED THERAPY

The Person Centered Therapy was established by Carl Rogers. He first called it as “counselor-centered therapy”. This therapy administers tests, asks questions, and suggests courses of action to the client. Carl Rogers call his patients as “client” and not the usual “patient”. This approach is “non-directive counseling”, until it was change to “person-centered counseling “which means emphasizing its focus on human capacities.

The simulation presented in the person-centered therapy was the problem of Mrs. Oak. She undergone numbers of counseling just to realize on her own, that she will need to become positive and more self confidence to herself to solve her problem.

“Not in doing, but in being”, this is the main function of the therapists. They provide a climate of safety and trust, which will encourage clients to reintegrate their self actualizing and self valuing processes. The person-centered therapist is non-authoritarian, and formal assessment of the client’s problems in the form of psychological testing is considered to be inappropriate and unnecessary.

The goals of person-centered therapy are not to solve the problems but to facilitate process in which clients can know who they really are and become fully functioning human beings. It eliminates the need for impressing others, lying to oneself, or other. It tries to eliminate the unhealthy need to please others and to move toward increasingly trusting ones own experiences.

The major methods and techniques used in person-centered therapy are:

Ø Congruence- the therapists’ inner experiences and their observable outward actions match.

Ø Unconditional- positive regard- the clients worth is not dependent on others expectations and approval.

Ø Emphatic Understanding- the therapist enters the clients place and understands the world from his or his perspective, adopting the client’s internal frame of references.
