Humanistic Psychology is considered the “Third Force,” in psychology and largely represents a move away from psychoanalysis and behaviorism. No one represents this philosophy more than Carl Rogers. In Rogers’ early professional life, he was extremely frustrated with the results from standard psychoanalytic treatment with his clients. As a result, he went on to develop a more person-centered therapy that has had a huge impact in personality theory and especially psychotherapy. In this week’s virtual tour, we have a partial clip of Rogers doing therapy with a client and discussing his theory (the entire video of the counseling session can be found on You-tube for those who are interested). Although dated, it presents a very good picture of the master at work. After viewing the clip and Rogers theory, share your thoughts on his view of human nature, personality theory and view of counseling. How useful and valid does it seem to you?
