This paper discusses some misconceptions about person-centered therapy being incompatible with brief counseling. Three major reasons contribute to why the person-centered approach has been omitted from the literature related to brief counseling. First, brief counseling was initially identified with the cognitive-behavioral school of therapy. Second, the person-centered approach is considered more of a philosophy. A. third misconception concerns the misunderstanding surrounding empathy. In reality, therapists in short-term, time-limited situations are using many aspects of the person-centered approach. Both therapies share approaches that are based on similar beliefs, such as: psychotherapy should be formulated to meet the uniqueness of the individual's needs; every individual has the potential towards growth; and therapists realize the significance of the therapeutic quality of a solidly built relationship. Included in the paper is an excerpt from a third session (out of 10 sess...
Person-centredness - the \u27state\u27 of the art
2015
Background: Person-centred practice is now firmly embedded in the nursing and healthcare discourse. While there is a growing body of development and research activity in the field, there is increased recognition of the need for further advances in the body of existing knowledge. This is reflected in the different approaches to person-centredness being adopted by healthcare systems internationally. Aims: To provide an overview of person-centredness and ways in which person-centred practice has been adopted in healthcare systems internationally. Methods: A summary review of the evidence underpinning the concepts and theory of person-centredness, incorporating an overview of national strategic frameworks that influence the development of person-centred practice in different countries. Findings: While there have been considerable advances in the development of person-centredness, there is a lot of work to be done in the adoption of more consistent approaches to its development and evalu...
Person-Centred Approach and Systems Theory
The person-centred approach (PCA) was and is strongly related to systems theory: The core theoretical and explanatory principle -"actualizing tendency" -has been coined by the Gestalt psychologist Kurt Goldstein. Moreover, Rogers stressed in some late papers the relationship between his conception and modern interdisciplinary systems theory.
From Client-Centered Therapy to a Person-Centered Approach.pdf
Carl Rogers' theory of psychotherapy, interpersonal relationships and personality has been a dorninant force in psychology for several Cecades. The work of Rogers and his colleagues has 'gone to the root' cf many of the concepts and values of western eulture, and has changecj rnany principles and procedures. The attitilde and philosophy underlying their anproach are causing a quiet revolution in the very nature ofcounselling and psychotherapy, of education, of rnarriage, of administration, even of politics. At the same time the theory has undergone several major changes itJelf. After being called nondirective, client-centered, and experiential it is now designated as person-centered. As such it provides scope for cognitive as well as experiential aspects of the person, and urderlies the approach to almost all other psychotherapeutic procedures.

Person-centredness – the ‘state’ of the art
International Practice Development Journal
Background: Person-centred practice is now firmly embedded in the nursing and healthcare discourse. While there is a growing body of development and research activity in the field, there is increased recognition of the need for further advances in the body of existing knowledge. This is reflected in the different approaches to person-centredness being adopted by healthcare systems internationally. Aims: To provide an overview of person-centredness and ways in which person-centred practice has been adopted in healthcare systems internationally. Methods: A summary review of the evidence underpinning the concepts and theory of personcentredness, incorporating an overview of national strategic frameworks that influence the development of person-centred practice in different countries. Findings: While there have been considerable advances in the development of person-centredness, there is a lot of work to be done in the adoption of more consistent approaches to its development and evaluation. In particular, a shared discourse and measurement tools are needed. Internationally, person-centredness is gaining momentum and many countries have strategic frameworks in place to direct its development and implementation. Conclusions: Significant developments in the theory and practice of person-centredness in nursing and healthcare have taken place. However, as evidenced by the accounts of in-country developments, internationally there is a need to develop more strategic multiprofessional approaches to the development/implementation and evaluation of person-centred practices. Implications for practice:
