Discuss the person-centered therapy propagated by Carl Rogers.

What will be an ideal response?


Carl Rogers' person-centered theory focuses on each individual's uniqueness, the importance of allowing each individual to achieve maximum fulfillment of potential, and the individual's need to confront honestly the reality of his or her experiences in the world. In applying the person-centered theory to the therapy context, Rogers used the term client-centered to reflect his belief that people are innately good and that the potential for self-improvement lies within the individual rather than in the therapist or therapeutic techniques.
