17.1.1 Philosophy and Goals - Carl Rogers
• Goal of therapy: Self-actualization
- Achieving your full personal potential
• Names used to describe humanistic therapy:
- Client-centered therapy
- Person-centered therapy
17.1.2 Humanistic Theory
• Tendency toward self-actualization is innate and linked to:
- Positive Regard: Warmth, Love, Acceptance
- Prizing: Experience of positive regard
• Problems arise when movement toward self-actualization is thwarted by:
- Conditions of Worth: Prizing is linked to specific behaviors/conditions
• Conditions of worth produce discrepancy between one’s:
- Real Self: The self you currently are
- Ideal Self: The self you could be at full potential
Incongruence
• Discrepancy between real and ideal self
• Distress & Psychopathology
Congruence
• Consistency between real and ideal self
• Self-Actualization

17.1.3 Humanistic Psychotherapy

- Genuineness
• Authenticity in the therapeutic relationship
• IF the therapist creates a relationship with…
- Genuineness and transparency and real feelings
- Warm acceptance and prizing of the other individual
- Sensitive ability to see the client and their world
• THEN the client will experience…
- Understanding aspects of themselves
- Improved ability to function effectively
- Increased self-confidence and self-direction
- More understanding and acceptance of other people
- Ability to cope with life’s challenges and problems
• Reflection of Feeling
- Restating clients’ ideas in a way that highlights
- Not mechanistic
