Tim comes to the counselor because he is afraid of life. He does not trust others and therefore has difficulty establishing sati
sfying relationships. His Person Centered therapist, Carl, would hope that, as a result of counseling, Tim could:a. learn assertiveness skills.b. be more in touch with his experience.c. use fewer defense mechanisms.d. confront his parents about conditions of worth they instilled.
Person-centered therapy is a type of therapy developed by Carl Rogers, who believes that clients have the answer to their own problems, and therapists should help them in their journey by facilitating an environment that is conducive for the individual to do so. The three conditions that must exist between the client and the therapist are unconditional positive regard, empathetic understanding, and congruence.
