Document Summary
Carl rogers - the curious paradox is that when i accept myself just as i am, then i can change . Goal is to increase awareness and self-understanding through experiential processes. How a person makes meaning out of their life. Empathetic responding, unconditional positive regard/acceptance (prizing the client), and genuineness/transparency are necessary/sufficient. Helps improve psychological adjustment, learning, and frustration tolerance and decrease defensiveness. Limitations: simplistic, optimistic, leisurely, unfocused (some clients need more structure); depends on bright, insightful, hard-working clients; ignores diagnoses; deals with surface issues. Life, death, anxiety, and personally meaningful choices. Goal: meaning-making; increased awareness of freedom and responsibility. Ultimate meaning, meaning of the moment, common day-to-day meaning. Discover meaning by: doing a deed, experiencing a value, or suffering. Focus on living productively in the present, not recovering personal past. Anti deterministic: each person is able to change and become responsible (people are constantly developing by exploring, aspating, and self-reflecting) Lose contact with environment and resources in it.
