Evaluate the claim that Person-Centred Therapy offers the therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients. In this essay I shall be evaluating the claim that person-centred therapy offers the therapist all that he / she will need to treat clients. I will define what personal centred therapy (PCT) is and I will look at the origins of this therapy with particular reference to Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers and examine the fundamental elements necessary for the therapy to be seen as patient centered. I will compare the benefits and disadvantages of person -centred therapy and try to establish whether a therapist can treat all clients effectively using just the one approach or whether it is more beneficial to the client for the therapist to use a more multi-disciplinary approach. To be able to discuss this subject it is important to describe first what we mean when discussing PCT, Person - Centred Therapy, also known as client-centered, non-directive, or Rogerian therapy, this is an approach to counselling and psychotherapy that places much of the responsibility for the treatment process on the client, with therapist taking a non-directive role.
“Evaluate the claim that Person-Centred Therapy offers the therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients”. The claim that Person-Centred Therapy offers the therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients, is a bold view that I plan to address during the course of this essay. I will firstly look at the core conditions that Rogers quoted as being essential for Person-Centred Therapy and explain the use of these in achieving his approach. I will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of such an approach and will look at differing opinions from other sources to provide an overview. I will then derive my own opinion from these and detail my own concerns or praise for the model.
Compare and Contrast the Person Centred Model with one other Humanistic Approach, examining differences and similarities between the two approaches. Introduction Through this assignment I hope to demonstrate my understanding of the key concepts of the Person Centred Approach to counselling, its influences, strengths and weakness and how this theory compares and contrasts to the Humanistic approach of Gestalt Therapy. The Person Centred Model was an approach first devised by Carl Rogers during the 1950’s. He was the main driving force behind the changes proposing that the therapeutic relationship should be a warmer experience. Stating that the client was the expert and recognising that their condition improved when the counselling relationship was conducted on an even keel.
The interaction between a counsellor and client and the way in which the counsellor reacts, responds and builds a relationship with their client is termed “therapeutic alliance”. Greenson (1967) describes therapeutic alliance as a “rational relationship between patient and analyst” (p. 46), and argues that this positive collaboration between therapist and patient is crucial for effective treatment. Further to this concept, Bordin (1979) outlines three major components: “(a) agreement on goals for treatment, (b) agreement on tasks to achieve those goals, and (c) the emotional bond of trust and attachment that develops between therapist and patient” (Bordin 1979 as cited from Diener & Argosy 2011, p. 238). There are various approaches to therapy such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy, and Person Centred Therapy, to name a few. This essay concentrates on Carl Rogers’ person centred approach suggesting that therapeutic conditions such as congruence, unconditional positive regard and empathy are key to successful personal counselling and growth.

These clinicians began to develop a variety of theories about the nature and functioning of a family. Family therapy began with the concept of treating the entire family unit for psychological problems instead of just the individual. The earliest attempts at modifying basic practices begin with the idea that the best way to treat an individual was through the success of the patient-therapist relationship. Early therapists such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Rogers believed that client’s family life does influence the client’s personality and therefore remains an integral part of the therapeutic process. The beliefs taught within this family unit remain one of the most influential forces that shape and control human behavior.
