Originator of Client -Centered Theory Carl Rogers
,Client -Centered Theory Also known as person-centered or Rogerian theory Client-
centered therapy is humanistic. Has an optimistic outlook on human nature. Individuals have an
actualizing tendency that can direct them out of conflict and toward their full potential. People
who lack congruence between their real selves and their conscious self-concept develop
psychological tension. Person-centered therapy is directed by the client who decides how often to
meet and what they will discuss. Therapy is non directive, atmosphere is for the client's self-
exploration. Aim is to provide a trusting atmosphere in which the client can engage in self-
directed growth and tap their own "vast resource". Evidence of growth includes congruent self-
concept. Positive self-regard, and internal locus-of-evaluation and willingness to experience.
