Document Summary
Psychologist of 1940s and 1950s had a feeling that something was missing. Freud drew attention to the dark forces of the unconscious. And self-fulfillment humanisms chief leaders wanted to draw a fuller picture of human potential. Rogers theory grew out his clinical experience (like freud) He noted how often his clients reflected on who they are, i"m not myself lately or i"d like to be more independent, but that just isn"t me . How you behave depends upon your subjective reality. Fully functioning person experiences congruence (harmony) between image they project and who they really are. Rogers felt that to become a fully functioning person we all need unconditional positive regard for who we are, no strings (conditions) attached. Unfortunately, many children are raised with conditions of worth ( i"ll love you if you behave or i"ll love you if you go along with what i believe )
