According to Rogers, counselors and social workers were emphasizing the wrong things in trying to treat delinquent children and adolescents. He believed that they should:
a. try to alter the threatening home situation.
c. try to modify the children's self-insight.
b. place the children in foster care.
d. focus on external factors such as the socioeconomic background.
ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Rogers accepted that one's attitude toward the self was more important in predicting behavior than the external factors widely thought to be so influential in childhood. He believed that counselors and social workers were emphasizing the wrong things in trying to treat delinquent children and adolescents. Counselors traditionally focus on external factors such as a poor family environment and alter the circumstances by removing children from a threatening home situation and placing them in foster care. Instead, they should be trying to modify the children's self-insight.
