Abstract This paper is a qualitative analysis of the famous Carl Rogers interview with Gloria filmed in 1964 in the United States of America. The basic concepts of the client centered theory and therapy will also be encountered in addition to an evaluation of the necessity and importance of the core conditions in the counseling process. Introduction Person centered theory is regarded as one of the most influential theories of counseling and therapy since its development in the 1940s. With the development of the person centered theory its originator Carl Rogers revolutionized the field of psychotherapy. He believed that people are capable of solving their own problems when the right conditions...

...Carl Rogers and His Influence on Modern Psychology Introduction Carl Rogers is considered the founder of client-centered therapy, which asserts that childhood experiences affect an individual’s feelings, thoughts, and behavior (Rathus, 2004). The therapist must see the world from that of the client to be effective in treatment. Rogers has influenced many psychological theories and therapies present today, especially positive psychology. Despite this fact, many who practice positive psychology do not, or are not willing to, accept the influence of past theories. Client-Centered Therapy In 1959, Rogers asserted that the therapeutic relationship is used differently with different clients and “it is not necessary to manipulate the relationship in specific ways for specific kinds of clients” (Moon, 2001, p. 45). This means that when a client enters the therapy room, treatment using psychotherapy can begin if the therapist is warm, available, open, accepting, and seeks to understand and follow the client’s needs (Moon). Therefore, client-centered therapy asserts that when a clinician is successfully embracing the attitudinal conditions with a client, the relationship becomes therapeutic and psychological transformation occurs. In essence, Rogers believed that all humans are free to make choices and control their destiny, despite what has occurred in the past. Therefore, client-centered therapy’s goal is to provide insight into the client that has been discarded or disowned...

...COMM S237 JOI Instructor: Gail Haynes Paper composed by: Vanessa Villefort Email: Vanessa.Villefort@edu.uni-graz.at Reaction Paper Experiences in Communication – Carl R. Rogers Everyone has different and unique experiences with communication. The psychologist Carl R. Rogers shares his experiences with communication in Chapter 1 of his book A Way of Being and by doing so provides major understandings of communication to the reader. Having read through the chapter thoroughly, I would like to follow Rodgers advice and “check what [he] says against [my] own experience and decide as to its truth or falsity for [me].” (439) In the following part I will try to make up my own mind by comparing his experience to mine. First of all, Rogers mentions the importance of hearing someone and also to be heard by someone. With hearing he refers to the process of truly listening to someone and that is not just listening to the words but also to the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning and meaning below the conscious intent of the speaker. Once people feel that someone is deeply hearing them they become relieved and more open. This feeling of being understood by another person lets people often bear their heart to that specific person which in turn makes them more open for the process of change (440). However, truly hearing someone is not an ability everyone possesses. It is a difficult process, since it requires the listener to be open and free of prejudices but also not...

...Counseling Approach To Lisa Janelle Wheatley CNED 401 The Pennsylvania State University Abstract This paper will be focusing on Lisa, a Mexican American woman who suffers from a drug and alcohol addiction. I will be talking about Lisa’s family background and her current situation as well. I will pick a counseling theory and briefly describe this theory in detail. I will then apply this theory to Lisa and her situation. The last thing that this paper will focus on will be why I choose this particular theory for Lisa. Case Conceptualization Lisa is a 32-year-old mother of two twin boys age eight. Lisa suffers from a long history of substance and alcohol abuse. Lisa has been using since the age of 12 and her addiction has only progressed worse over the years. Lisa has experimented with a variety of drugs from marijuana, cocaine and eventually to heroin. Lisa is prone to outbursts of violent behavior and being in life threatening situations. As a counselor it is very important for me to consider all aspects of Lisa’s life, so that I can apply the right theory and provide the best treatment for her. Family and Social Dynamics Lisa comes from a very dysfunctional family. Most of Lisa’s childhood was spent in poverty and despair. She saw her mother getting abused at an early age and usually tried to stop the abuse. Lisa’s father used heroin and eventually died of an overdose. Lisa was taught to survive early on by having to fight her brothers and male cousins. When...

...The perspective that I’m writing about that “fits” or is the closest to my own way of thinking is the humanistic theory. I chose to write about this because I agree with Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow in that people are generally motivated to improve or achieve the highest level of success that an individual can. Even though Carl Rodgers believed that the actualizing tendency applied to all organisms and not just humans, I figured he deserved to be mentioned along with Abraham Maslow beings they both were on the same track together. Rodgers and Maslow held that human beings are inherently good and seek the good in their lives. I like the fact that every human being on this planet is responsible for achieving their own level of success, whatever that might be to each individual. Maslow’s also believes that in order to achieve self-actualization, all the other needs need to be met and satisfied in a hierarchical order: beginning with a person’s basic needs, moving toward safety, then belonging and finally to esteem. To me this was a nail hit right on the head, because you wouldn’t be able to move forward or help anybody else until these things are done first. Humanistic psychology helped remove the stigma attached to therapy, and made it easier for healthy normal individuals to be able to explore their abilities and their potential through therapy. This also...

...Therapeutic Relationship The relationship between the client and I is the main emphasis of my personal theory. The person-centered core conditions I mentioned of unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and accurate empathic understanding would be a central part of this person-to-person relationship, and it would be very important to have those conditions present from the very first session I have with a client. This way of being is something I will need to practice and figure out exactly how it fits for me, and it will certainly be an ongoing process. The client would be the lead the counseling process because they are the expert on their experiences. My job is to be with them in their experiences and to point out themes that link to their internalized meaning of conditional worth. Influenced by gestalt theory, I will attempt to bring the themes back to how they affect the client in their present lives. Finally, to be completely genuine in the relationship with the client, I will have to be congruent with my own authentic self so I can genuinely display this to the client. I will do this through continuing my own personal therapy and to continually attempting to be more self-aware and present in the moment. Counselor’s Role My role in therapy is also heavily influenced by person-centered theory. I will strive towards the therapeutic experience being client directed. My role would be an instrument of change by purely having the relationship with the client that embodies their...

...In reading about the humanistic theory, psychologist Carl Rogers speaks of motivation, how we perceive the world, how we think about ourselves and others, and also how the world and the people can play a major role in our lives, changing our motivation, for better or worse, kind of like the "butterfly effect" or domino effect". In Carl Rogers opinion every who, what, where, or when is contributing to the person we are going to become in life. Abraham Maslow, on the other hand, seemed to believe quite the similar views but at the same time in a different perspective. Abraham's views on Humanistic Psychology were based around the self-actualization or knowing their own path very clearly being self motivated, starting from the bottom and working their way up. For example, we as people know that the first thing we have to do in life is go to school. After graduating high school the next thing in moving up is furthering our education through college courses. The next steps to moving up would be landing your dream job, getting married, having children, buying your first house until you've reached a comfort zone in your life which would be your personal point of self actualization. From what I've understood with the self concept process, in the first few months of a child's life self concept is born. In a set of perceptions and beliefs about themselves rooting from the influence of self enhancing experiences, such as, positive regard or the sense of being valued and loved by other...

...What Is “Person-Centered”? A Posthumous Conversation with Carl Rogers on the Development of the Person-Centered Approach Sharie Adams Cambridge College The article to be discussed in this journal capture the attention of the critic upon reading the title. It was not wholly morbid-to say the least-it was odd. There was a palm-reader-gypsy-at-the-fair air to the title. Out of the many titles that were perused, the title alone made the selection easy. The author, Howard Kirschenbaum- a notable author and educator in his own right- authored the biography of the late Carl Rogers. A friend, colleague and authority of Person-Centered theory, Kirschenbaum creates an in depth conversation with the disease that creates an interesting way to pique the interest but to also, bring a novice understanding of Carl Rogers’ person-centered counseling. The journal takes place in a dream where the author has a very in-depth conversation with his friend who affectionately refers to him as “Howie”. Howie then is able to ask his friend some very serious questions about his theories definition, challenges, person-centered antagonist, and the future of person-centered being incorporated in to different kinds of counseling. The author does a great job of using previous conversations, writings and interviews with Carl Rogers to give an accurate account of Roger’s point of view. The conversation begins with Kirschenbaum making the reader aware of the atrophy of person-centered approach in...

URN: urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs0402347 Q-Sort technique First developed by Stephenson (1953), and later by Carl Rogers (1954) in humanistic psychotherapy. The Q-Sort technique helps judge self-esteem and personal growth. It helps indicate the individuals (poor) perceived self, and ideal-self. Q-sort technique - scaling General methodology developed to discriminate among relatively large number of objects quickly. It gathers data and processes the collected information; the subjects are assigned the task of sorting a number of statements by placing a specific number of statements in each sorting category; the emphases are on determining the relative ranking of stimuli by individuals and in deriving cluster of individuals who display similar preference ordering of stimuli. For example, respondents are given hundred attitude statements on individual cards and are asked to place them into eleven piles ranging from “most highly agreed with” to “least highly agreed with”.

...Pre-Planning Is Key Jason Rogers COMM/215 28 May 2012 Cecelia Weber Training and Pre-Planning Is Key Introduction In my case study, Carl Robbins, a campus recruiter for ABC, Inc., has been made aware of multiple issues a couple weeks before the new hire orientation that he scheduled. Given that the ABC campus recruiter, Carl Robbins, had six months of experience and was developing difficulties with the pre-planning for his new hire orientation, I conclude that the company ABC needs to provide better training to personnel, improve conference room reservation procedures, and provide a checklist to recruiters for new hire packets. Background In early April, Carl Robins successfully recruited 15 new hires to work for Monica Carrols. He has only been working for ABC, Inc. for six months, and this was his first recruitment mission. He scheduled a new hire orientation that would take place on June 15 because he wanted the new hires to start working by July. On May 15, Monica contacted him in reference to the training schedule, orientation manuals, and other issues that involved the recruits he hired in April. Carl reassured Monica that everything would be done on time in accordance with the planned schedule. After Memorial Day, Carl decided to look over the new trainee files to make sure all the paperwork was completed before orientation. He then realized that a couple of the recruits did not have their applications completed and their transcripts were not on file. On top of...

...CASE STUDY “Joel is a 36 year old man who has come to counselling because he feels unhappy and unsatisfied in his life. Joel’s mother died when he was 12 and Joel grew up with his Father, who he describes as a good man, who worked hard to support his son, but struggled with anger and alcohol issues and was never able to fully recover from the death of Joel’s mother. Joel felt that his father was distant and so caught up in his own grief that he was never able to love Joel. Joel describes himself as a rebel in his teens, who gave his father a hard time but that he worked hard and went to university, which he saw as a way out of the small town he grew up in and a way to escape his father. He now has a successful career in corporate law and is married with a young son, Oliver, who has just had his first birthday. Joel was initially happy in his career, as he enjoyed the challenge and the money that came with his job. He has been able to give his wife, Anna, all the things that he missed out on as a child: they have a big home in a good suburb and Oliver will go to private school. Anna does not have to work and they plan to try for a second child next year. Despite all of the positives in his life, Joel still feels unhappy. He loves his wife and son, but is feeling oppressed by the constant demands of parenthood and feels that is work is suffering because he has to commit more time at home. He enjoys work less than he did and he feels that his relationship with Anna is also suffering...
