Coming out of the dredges of Psychoanalytic therapist traits (removed, blank slate, etc), Rogers' theory of full, nonjudgmental involvement was a nod in the direction of allowances: the therapist was allowed to feel human nature just as their client does. As Barbara noted, the theory by itself does not stand the test of time, though its inclusion into other theories, both developed and developing, is more important than ever. The biggest note I've taken in reading about Person Centered Theory lay in actually reading one of Rogers' texts for Tools--to hear his own words is encouraging and reminiscent of a kind grandfather gently guiding us back to the unconditional life. Studying his work in the Scharf text, however, has proved much more drab....seemingly inappropriate for both modern lifestyles and insurance claims alike.

I really like the theory of person centered approach. I can appreciate how the foundation of facilitating a positive change and growth in someone starts in building a supportive and enriching counselor-client relationship. In my opinion, the nondirective approach is useful in that the client is in control and makes the decisions. To me, this is helpful for a client especially one who feels powerless or victimized to gain self worth and esteem.

I really like person-centered theory and believe that all clients can benefit from the approach and techniques in this therapy. I agree with the non-directiveness of the counselor in this therapy. I believe that clients who set their own goals will have a greater involvement and commitment towards achieving their goals.

I believe that Person-centered therapy is useful and presents the most humanistic aspect of counseling. However, personally, I think solely Person-centered therapy is not enough for significant therapeutic change, especially under the pressure of the tendency of brief therapy. I think it works best integrated with other therapies and approaches.

This video was very insightful! I gained a better understanding for self-actualization and why some people never achieve it. In my opinion, no one can ever reach the optimal level of human functioning because a child is likely to experience some type of incongruity whether it be at home or at school.

Currently studying a Diploma of Counseling so this is all new to me. I find this approach interesting and could see how it could work but I think it would be hard on the Counselor to control their non-directive stance. Being a new student my opinion is probably irrelevant but I can't see this approach working well for most people. That's mainly due to the fact that you go to counseling under the guise that the counselor is going to direct you and help you and set goals for you. This approach relies entirely on the client themselves to recognise the incongruency, be congruent and self actualise without any direction. Of all the approaches I think this is my least favorite. Maybe? Or maybe because there are no real 1.2.3. etc guidelines to follow. As a beginner it is a bit daunting. I think it would take many many years and clients to master (like any approach I guess), but I think the hardest part would be to be non directive. Awesome video though. Really glad I watched it. In theory it sounds like a simple approach yet I think what is required from the counselor is vastly underestimated by the casual observer of this approach.
Apologies for the long an issue I'm working on! haha. You better pray I don't get your voicemail....could waffle on for hours!

The goal of person-centered therapy is for the client to become fully functioning and congruent, in other words, self-actualized. For this to occur, the client must fulfill their need for positive regard from others and also have positive regard for themselves as well. However, this can become threatened when the client experiences conditional worth from others and accept the views and beliefs of other, while disregarding their own, in efforts to win the positive regard of others. This can result in the client experiencing incongruence and can produce anxiety and as well as other negative feelings and experiences.

I really like person-centered therapy, overall. I think that the concepts behind this type of therapy are great. This type of therapy wants to support the client fully and allow them to self-actualize. This type of therapy also wants the client to realize their capability in achieving self-directed growth. I will definitely incorporate aspects of this technique during sessions.

I like a lot of the aspects of Person-centered Therapy. I appreciate that the theory of personality works towards positive growth, "optimal level of functioning", and self actualization. I think this fits nicely into the wellness model of treatment that we learned about in Ethics. I also liked the idea of congruence and the relationship between a client's idea of self and experiences. I encounter individuals with low self esteem frequently who engage in unhealthy behaviors in an attempt to seek approval from others. From this perspective, the incongruence from experiences of conditional worth could explain why these individuals act out in the ways they do.

Person-Centered Therapy's focus on the person and the therapeutic relationship is the foundation in which to build upon, but I can see how this can be a limiting theory and may not work well alone. It seems this theory is best to use as a basis in which to expand with a client, but it is key to establish unconditional positive regard and a non-judgmental approach. These two components alone can prove to be most useful in establishing a healthy therapeutic alliance.

I thought this was a comprehensive overview of person centered therapy. These are supplemental to the reading and really help solidify the information. I guess because this is the the theory being taught to me I have a bias towards it and the its effectiveness but overall I fell it is useful.

Great Job with explaining Rogers theory, but the tone almost put me to sleep a couple of times, overall simply explained and clear!

i love this theory, it truly is about the client. i am currently on level 3 of counselling and choosing this model. i actually LIKE how there are no questions and advice giving. I feel this can only be good for the client because it is down to the client to heal themselves or to find their own problems inside, with this therapy it is more than possible. Who are we to go into the heart of someone else, only THEY can find what is truly within. We are there to guide them to this and nothing more. Thus, they find their own answers and healing. good video, thankyou for sharing. :)
