Introduction Person-centred therapy was largely developed by Carl Rogers in the early 1940’s.

Rogers developed a Humanistic style approach to psychology as he grappled with his own beliefs of humanity, spirituality and psychological ideology.
“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 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.

The Gestalt approach focuses much more on process than on content. Therapists devise experiments designed to increase clients’ awareness of what they are doing and how they are doing it.

Therefore, it is ideal for a professional counselor to explore, and implement, many theories in his or her career. Adlerian Theory Key Concepts Adlerian Theory was developed by Alfred Adler who shared the same ideas as Freud but eventually concluded that Freud's concepts were too deterministic and limited. Adler eventually established his own theory of human development and psychotherapy, which he called Individual Psychology. Alfred Adler believed that understanding people grew from knowledge of their goals and drives, their family constellations, their social contexts, and their styles of life.
Theory of multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT) Most career counseling and guidance practitioners would readily acknowledge that each client is unique, and that individual differences must be accepted and respected. However, practice - based on theories taught during initial training and subsequently developed into 'action theories' in the field - often reflects the assumption that a particular interviewing approach is transferable across a wide range of clients. Multicultural counseling challenges this view. Sue et al (1996) propose a theory of multicultural counseling and therapy (MCT). This is considered necessary because of the inadequacies of current theories informing current counseling practice.
