Carl Rogers was a psychologist with a humanistic approach in Person-Cantred Therapy where the practitioner provides an environment of acceptance, unconditional positive regard, empathy and genuineness. Carl Rogers reinforces that people are motivated to self-actualize in an environment where there is room to grow because of this relationship between the practitioner and the patient. The patient is encouraged to unleash their growth potential in an environment where it is safe. Patients don’t feel threatened and are less vulnerable so there is room for growth. Change can only occur If the patient is given the opportunity to decide for themselves within their personal power.
