Person Centred Counselling

Introduction

One of the major differences between humanistic counsellors and other therapists is that they relate to the therapy as "clients" and not "patients." That is because they see the therapist and client as equal partners and not as an expert in patient care. Unlike other treatments the client is responsible for improving their lives, and not a doctor. This is a deliberate change in psychoanalysis and behaviour therapy where the patient is diagnosed and treated by a doctor. Instead, the client is conscious and rational to decide for themselves what is wrong and what to do. Instead of releasing a past client as psychodynamic therapists aim of making Rogerians hopes of helping clients achieve personal growth and ultimately self-realization.

Rogers (1959) refer to him as a customer centre or therapeutic approach to person-cantered therapy because of the emphasis on the subjective view of man in the world. The purpose of humanistic therapy, Roger is the increase of human dignity, reducing the discrepancy between ideal and real self, and to help people become more fully functioning person.

The person is an entity independent of both (individual) and relational (social). A person does not exist outside a relational context, group, and company. A major goal of therapy is centred on the person to help the person seeking help to find ways to balance this interdependence and to develop their full social and psychological functioning. The etymology of the term "person" is of Greek origin and means mask that showed actors in public-spectators sitting in the stands. The mask does not serve to conceal but to reveal! He unveiled that was not visible to the public, the mask having been reflected within the one who sang a particular role. It was only much later middle Ages the tradition of "mask unveiling" has given way to mask the significance of today: the mask "mask" is indeed something. However, in the tradition of theatrical staging, the mask has always served to show, to reveal the darker side, which could otherwise be made ??visible by a stage performance (especially in the tradition of the theater of ...
