PERSON CENTRED THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Chapter 7 Summary
Development of the approach:
➢ In the first period, during the 1940s, Rogers developed what was known as nondirective
counseling
➢ Rogers’s theory emphasized the counselor’s creation of a permissive and nondirective
climate.
➢ Nondirective counselors avoided sharing a great deal about themselves with clients and
instead focused mainly on reflecting and clarifying the clients’ verbal communications and
intended meanings.
➢ In the second period, during the 1950s, Rogers (1951) renamed his approach client-
centered therapy, which reflected his emphasis on the client rather than on nondirective
methods.
➢ Rogers assumed that the best vantage point for understanding how people behave was from
their own internal frame of reference.
➢ He focused more explicitly on the actualizing tendency as the basic motivational force that
leads to client change.
➢ The third period, which began in the late 1950s and extended into the 1970s, addressed
the necessary and sufficient conditions of therapy
➢ “becoming the self that one truly is”
➢ he studied the qualities of the client–therapist relationship as a catalyst leading to
personality change
➢ The client-centered approach emphasized the role of the therapist as a facilitator of growth
and honored the inherent power of the client. (Corey, G., 2017, p. 166)
➢ The fourth phase, during the 1980s and the 1990s
➢ Because of Rogers’s ever-widening scope of influence, including his interest in how people
obtain, possess, share, or surrender power and control over others and themselves, his
theory became known as the person-centered approach.
• In the earliest years of the approach, the client rather than the therapist determined the
direction and goals of therapy and the therapist’s role was to help the client clarify feelings.
