This essay will outline and evaluate some of the most innovative and prominent areas of development, in the person centred approach since the death of Rogers. It will focus on some of the key figures to contribute to these developments, and how they impacted on the style of Person centred therapy. The Person centred or Rogerian Approach is based on concepts from humanistic Psychology and was developed in the 1930’s by American Psychologist Carl Rogers. It was a move forward from previous therapies such as Freud’s psychoanalysis which placed the therapist in a detached superior form over the client. In person or client centred therapy as it is also known, the client and therapist are viewed as equal and it was Rogers who established that the person should be referred to as ‘client’ instead of ‘patient’ as his previous successors had done.
Twins have long been used for nature vs. nurture studies, although not ethical to intentionally separate twins to be raised and studied, every once the opportunity arrives for a retrospective study of just that situation. The “Twin Jims” is the study of twin boys separated shortly after birth and raised apart, both adoptive parents coincidentally named the boys James, but that’s far from where the similarities end. At the age of 39 the men were reunited and the Minnesota Center for Twin and Family Research involved them in an ongoing research project, In 1979 the study began and since then they have found that an identical twin reared away from His or her co-twin seems to have an equal chance of being similar to the co-twin in terms of personality, interests and attitudes as one who has been reared with his or her co-twin. ("Twin Studies," 2007, p. 1) Studying of the “Jim Twins” revealed both physical/medical similarities as well as personality/preference similarities, in school both did poorly in

It was going to my future.
In 1539 a physician and anatomist by the name of Andreas Vesalius made an significant discovery that changed the understanding of human anatomy forever. During the Renaissance, many people still believed and were taught the Ancient Roman philosopher Galen's ideas about the human body, and these teachings were unchallenged for hundreds of years. Vesalius was one of the few doctors of his time to make his own discoveries instead of blindly following ancient diagrams. He dissected human bodies and made detailed anatomical diagrams that proved the Ancient doctor's ideas to in fact be wrong. The immediate effects of Vesalius' discovery were that surgeries became more successful due to a better understanding of anatomy, doctors now had accurate diagrams of where each organ was located in the body, and a greater understanding of the human bone structure.
Jovi Ann Varquez Professor Flores English 1302 16 Sept. Racial Prejudice Along with the progress of this country came cultural diversity and discrimination. Different issues on opposing beliefs and traditions have come up, but most issues on superiority of race and color. Sherman Alexie, one of the greatest Native American writers, never let discrimination get the better of him. Instead he used literature as his way of inspiring others to fight against stereotypes as is evident in his article “Indian Education.” The article is a narration of brief encounters or memories of an Indian boy, from first to twelfth grade, depicting how he struggled to succeed despite stereotypes.
Cognitive Behavior Therapy While reading chapter ten of the textbook, in Dr. Gerald Corey introduction of Albert Ellis it is possible to read between the lines and feel Dr. Corey admiration for Dr. Ellis. (Corey, 2009) During his introduction, Corey states, “to some extent Ellis developed his approach as a method of dealing with his own problems.” (Corey, 2009, p. 273) An additional thing that Dr. Corey points out about Dr. Ellis is that he used humor as part of his philosophy. Dr. Ellis believed so much in his therapy that he continues to teach it until he was too sick to continue. In the textbook it talks about Dr. Ellis having classes with students from his hospital bed. (Corey, 2009, p. 273) Albert Ellis Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) differs from early therapies because it doesn’t dig into the past but concentrates on the present here and now.

Not all of Mr. Danby’s logos based statements are as malicious as his introductory ones. He starts to take a softer approach to his thought in order sway people’s minds better. For example Mr. Denby states “At actual schools, there is no unitary system of status” a reasonable claim that any person who attended high school in the last 50 years can believe. He furthers the readers trust in his thought, by giving them believable examples ; Using commonly known western heroes such as Marlon Brando, to portray the sharp contrasts between the old and the new teen movies. Comparing Brando’s early rebellion against authority to any average teenager’s quarrel with life itself.
