Carl Rogers

studied. Person Centered Therapy was developed by Carl Rogers and indeed is something not only I find interesting but holds a bit of truth. Rogers believed that humans are good and have an innate drive to reach an optimal sense of ourselves and satisfaction with our lives. Ultimately I interpreted that as humans excessive search for happiness. Rogers argues that a people who grow up in environment in which they are given love and support as long as their behavior is ideal for that said…

Rogers believed that all humans must rely on their own experiences and beliefs to navigate life. Rogers believed that people are motivated by an innate tendency to actualize, maintain, and achieve the self (Schultz,269). I very much believe in his idea that social factors have more of an influence on our personality than do biological factors. Rogers has written about how he believes that the individual is the only one who…

Carl Rogers and Fredrick Perls both developed useful psychotherapy techniques that have similar goals. However, the two types of therapy pursue this outcome in dissimilar ways. Carl Rogers’ client centered model focuses on the relationship with the client in the hopes that building a genuine relationship will allow the client to explore attitudes and emotions more deeply. Or, in other words, examine hidden aspects that are recalled remotely but are not being experienced by the client in the…

there was a setback in the beginning, I came through it, and so I can prove Carl Rogers (1961) theory in which he believes that if an individual attained self-actualisation they would be a fully functioning person living "the good life". By this, he means that the individual would have a positive healthy psychological outlook, trust their own feelings and have congruence in their lives between self and experience (Rogers 2004). The social work practicum is a fundamental aspect of social work…

to most psychodynamic and behavioural theorist, humanistic theorists take an optimistic view of human nature (Weiten , 2010).The are two theorist on humanistic theory which are Carl Roger’s Person –Centred Theory and Maslow’s Theory of Self-Actualization. THE CARL ROGER THEORY: PERSON –CENTERED THEORY Carl Rogers was a humanist and psychotherapist. He believed if as an individual attained self-actualisation they would be a fully working person living "the good life". By this, he means…

In the article Communication: Its Blocking and Its Facilitation by Carl Rogers. Rogers explains his beliefs of the major barriers in interpersonal relationships and what facilitates these tendencies. He starts off by saying that the whole task of a psychotherapist is dealing with a failure in communication. He then goes on to explain that the emotionally maladjusted person is referred to as a neurotic and that the communication has been broken down within and that’s what creates a barrier when…

Rogers’ Person-Centered Theory When developing his theory, Carl Roger’s biggest idea is that “people have a fundamental tendency to develop in healthy directions” (Cloninger, 2013, p. 269). Rogers (1961) theorized an actualizing tendency which is evident in all humans – “the tendency to express and activate all the capacities of the organism, or the self” (p. 351). He described that these tendencies not only include biological needs, but “higher” human motivations as well – like complexity and…

however, some of them lost some validity and reliability based on the adaptation of the contemporary society. However, all these theories were used as a base for the development of newer theories. From my point of view, the personality theory of Carl Rogers “phenomenological theory”, and the trait theory of Gordon Allport marked an important aspect of the personality theory development despised the weak aspect of the theory, and some other aspect that were not taken into consideration at that…

1.0 Rogers’ Theory of Therapy Jerold Bozarth, the well-known person-centred reader and the president of Person-Centre International from University of Georgia, USA, in his article ‘Nondirectivity’ in the theory of Carl R. Rogers: An unprecedented premise’ (2012) defined that “In Roger’s theory of therapy, nondirectivity refers to the therapist’s actions, attitudes, and demeanor that maximize the opportunity for the client/participant to direct her/his own life (…) the client is the director of…

During the next couple of pages, I have written a literature review based on a third edition book written by Carl Rogers and H. Jerome Freiberg (1994) called Freedom to Learn. I will first provide the reader with a brief summary of the book followed by what, and how this information will be used in my future classroom. I feel it is extremely important to debug such useful information and related to my perspective of what classroom management is. Then the conclusion will follow, including what I…
