what do humanists say (as opposed to determinism)

a ‘person centred’ approach to psychology

two parts within Roger’s client-centred therapy
“ideal self” and “self concept”
what is your “ideal self” (Roger)
how you imagine yourself to be in 2 years after being successful with everything you plan to do in that time
what is your “self concept” (Roger)
how you imagine yourself right now from someone else’s perception
how did Rogers reach conclusions with patients (humanist assessment of mental health)
see how many of the descriptive words in “ideal self” and “self concept” - mark these as 1s
see how many you believe you can do/know how to do - mark these as 2s
what did it say about the patient if they had more 1s (Rogers)
they have higher self-esteem
what did it say about the patient if they had more 2s (Rogers)
they have higher self-efficacy
