    Study Notes

    Carl Rogers' Theories

    • The basic motivational force leading to change in individuals is the tendency to actualize, maintain, and enhance oneself.
    • In the 1950s, the emphasis of client-centered therapy was on the client's inherent tendency towards self-actualization and the therapist's role in creating a favorable environment for change.

    Core Conditions

    • The three core conditions for a therapeutic relationship are empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard.
    • Unconditional positive regard is the acceptance of the client as they are, without judgment or condition.
    • Congruence is the therapist's authenticity and genuineness in the relationship.
    • Empathy is the therapist's ability to understand the client's perspective and see things 'through the client's eyes'.

    Person-Centered Therapy

    • The main focus of person-centered therapy is on the client's subjective experience and personal growth.
    • The therapist's role is to create a non-judgmental and empathetic environment, allowing the client to explore their own experiences and feelings.

    Humanism

    • Humanism reacted against the previous emphasis on the expression of sexual and aggressive impulses, focusing instead on the inherent goodness and dignity of individuals.
    • Humanism emphasizes the importance of subjective experience and personal growth.

    Key Concepts

    • The term "conditions of worth" describes the conditions we think we must meet in order for others to accept us as worthy of their love or positive regard.
    • "Incongruence" describes the discrepancy between the person we see ourselves as and the person we want to become.
    • "Self-actualization" is the process of realizing one's full potential and becoming the person one wants to be.
    • "Vulnerability" is the state of being open to one's experiences and emotions, without defense or distortion.
    • "Full-functioning person" is the term used to describe an individual who is fully self-actualized and living in harmony with their true self.

    Psychological Growth

    • The source of psychological growth and maturity is the innate tendency towards self-actualization.
    • When a person denies or distorts their own experiences, they are blocking their own growth and development.
    • Psychological growth occurs when an individual is able to access their inner subjective content and explore their own experiences and emotions.
