Q

Rogers proposed what 6 necessary and sufficient conditions for client change?

A

▪️Psychological contact between the counselor and client. A relationship between the counselor and client must exist.
▪️Client incongruence. The client experiences incongruence between experience and awareness. The experience of incongruence leaves the client feeling vulnerable and anxious.
▪️Counselor congruence. The counselor demonstrates congruence within the therapeutic relationship and may use self-disclosure to establish and build rapport with the client.
▪️Counselor unconditional positive regard. The counselor demonstrates a non-judgmental attitude toward the client and unconditionally accepts the personhood of the client.
▪️Counselor empathy. The counselor experiences an empathetic understanding of the client’s worldview and communicates this empathy to the client in order to reinforce the counselor’s unconditional positive regard.
▪️Client perception of the relationship. The client perceives the counselor’s empathetic understanding and unconditional positive regard.

If children encounter splitting (seeing objects “in black and white,” such as all good or all bad) and are unable to move past these polarities to integrate the complexity of human behavior, their psychological health and ability to form relationships will be negatively affected.
