Rogers Theory Flashcards
what are the three conditions needed for growth
- unconditional positive regard
- congruence
- empathy
unconditional positive regard
knowing that no matter what, someone finds value in you
congruence
finding consistency between your ideal and real self
empathy
active experiencing of others
non-directive approach
the clinician only controls the conditions in which the client directs their time
-his first title of his practice
person-centered
what he ended up calling his practice
-phenomenological: subjective experience
-the goal is to explore the self and develop congruence
actualizing tendency
we are constantly moving from simple to complex because we enjoy/require challenges
organism valuing process
putting value in one thing over another
first to emphasize:
client clinician relationship
-authentic relationship with two real selves
the assumption rogers makes
we all have the capacity to grow
3 reflective styles
- congruence in a reflective style
- unconditional positive regard in a reflective style
- empathy in a reflective style
congruence in a reflective style
reflecting emotions felt in the present moment to give space or them to feel the things they may push away
-immediacy
-“if i were you i might be feeling…”
immediacy
clinician using their authentic self to reflect the client back on themselves
unconditional positive regard in a reflective style
showing the client you enjoy your time with them by validating their existence and experiences
-NOT TOXIC POSITIVITY
-naming the failure, not denying it
-“it may be hard not to correlate this failure with your self worth…”
empathy in a reflective style
reflecting their inner world back to them
questions?
NO!
-only use statements
