Describe client-centered therapy.
What will be an ideal response?
Client-centered therapy (also called Rogerian therapy or nondirective therapy) is a form of humanistic therapy developed by Carl Rogers in which the therapist provides a warm, supportive atmosphere to improve the client's self-concept and to encourage the client to gain insight into problems. The goal of client-centered therapy is to help clients identify and understand their own genuine feelings and become more congruent, bringing their actual self closer to their ideal self. One way to achieve this goal is through active listening and reflective speech, a technique in which the therapist mirrors the client's own feelings back to the client.
