Describe Rational Depth Theory, as proposed by Mearns and Cooper (2005)

What will be an ideal response?


Answer may be something like: Relational depth is “a feeling of profound contact and engagement with a client, in which one simultaneously experiences high and consistent levels of empathy and acceptance toward the Other, and relates to them in a highly transparent way. In this relationship, the client is experienced as acknowledging one’s empathy, acceptance, and congruence—either explicitly or implicitly—and is experienced as full congruent in the moment.” (Meanrs and Cooper, 2005). Relational depth has become a major contribution to the ongoing development of person-centered theory.
