A Response to Other Counseling Approaches

Humanistic - Person Centred

The key concepts of person centred theory is: Rogers's seven stage process continuum, the actualising tendency, conditions of worth, development of inner trust and autonomy. The assumption is that all clients have within themselves the ability to solve their own problems and with facilitation of the therapist can live a more productive life using their own inner resources.

Roger's asserts that all human beings are essentially good. The seven stage process continuum is a hierarchy of stages through which a client will progress towards becoming a 'fully functioning person'. The development of an inner trust to make decisions and choices allows the client not to rely upon the counsellor for answers of view them as an expert.

Working in a person centred way may not fit with the client's expectations if therapy. If they have come to the therapy expecting answers from an expert then they may find the experience frustrating and pointless. Because the counsellor is not armed with a standard set of questions or tools for recording the progress, the sessions may not fee productive. This is especially true of clients who do not want to work their own problems out.
