Rogers proposed what 6 necessary and sufficient conditions for client change?
▪️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.
Ralph Greenson (1967) proposed that the therapeutic relationship comprised what 3 interrelated elements?
