PERSON(CLIENT) CENTRED THEORY (original) (raw)
2012
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:
Carl Rogers Client Centered Theory View
MY THEORIST PAPER 2 My Theorist Paper Compare and Contrast of Carl Roger's Client-Centered Theory with Christian Psychology "This book is about the suffering and the hope, the anxiety and the satisfaction, with which each therapist's counseling room is filled. It is about the uniqueness of the relationship each therapist forms with each client, and equally about the common elements which we discover in all these relationships. This book is about the highly personal experiences of each one of us. It is about a client in my office who sits there by the corner of the desk, struggling to be himself, yet deathly afraid of being himself -striving to see his experience as it is, wanting to be that experience, and yet fearful of the prospect. This book is about me, as I sit there with that client, facing him, participating in that struggle as deeply and sensitively as I am able. It is about me as I try to perceive his experience, and the meaning and the feeling and the taste and the flavor that it has for him. It is about me as I bemoan my very human fallibility in understanding that client, and the occasional failures to see life as it appears to him, failures which fall like heavy objects across the intricate, delicate web of growth which is taking place. It is about me as I rejoice at the privilege of being a midwife to a new personality -as I stand by with awe at the emergence of a self, a person, as I see a birth process in which I have had an important and facilitating part. It is about both the client and me as we regard with wonder the potent and orderly forces which are evident in this whole experience, forces which seem deeply, rooted in the universe as a whole. This book is, I believe, about life, as life vividly reveals itself in the therapeutic process -with its blind power and its tremendous capacity for destruction, but with
