Carl Rogers• Carl Rogers was born January 8, 1902, in a small suburb of Oak Park,

Illinois right outside of Chicago.  He was the fourth of six children

• His parents were strict Protestants and worked hard to keep society from corrupting their children.  When Carl was a teenager his family moved to a farm in Glen Ellen, Illinois. 

• This is where he became interested in the science of agriculture. He decided to go to college at the University of Wisconsin at Madison to pursue a career in farming

• After his graduation from college, he married his long time girlfriend Helen, and they had a son and a daughter.

• After many decades of his influential research and publications, Carl Rogers finished out the rest of his days in La Jolla, California, where he worked for a short time at the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute.

Adult Life While enrolled at the University of Wisconsin he started attending

Christian revival meetings and decided to change his major to history instead of agriculture.  He had decided to become a minister after graduation.

Rogers was then interested in studying religion and applied to the Union Theological Seminary in New York City.  It was here where he began taking psychology classes at the Teachers College of Columbia University. 

Rogers later transferred completely to the Teachers College when inspired by such instructors as Watson, Goodwin, Leta Hollingworth and William Heard Kilpatrick. 

• Rogers later went on to pursue a career at Rochester, Ohio State University, the University of Chicago, University of Wisconsin, and the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute in California.

Professional Accomplishments• Rogers also became the director of the Rochester Guidance Center. 

Rogers’ dissertation while attending the Teacher’s College was Personality Adjustment Inventory. 

• The publication was so popular that in a span of 50 years it sold over half a million copies.  In 1939, he published his first book called The Clinical Treatment of the Problem Child. Rogers then took a full teaching position at Ohio State University and subsequently started work on his second book entitled Counseling and Psychotherapy: Newer Concepts in Practice. 

• After only four years he decided to transfer to the University of Chicago in which he started the Counseling Center, and he was also a professor in the psychology department.  It was here, he began working on his new approach to counseling now known as “client-centered” therapy.  Also during this time, he wrote another book entitled Client-Centered Therapy: It’s Current Practice, Implications and Theory.

Professional Accomplishments• Association the first “Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award” in

1956

•  Rogers is also well known for his work with the American Association of Orthopsychiatry and the American Association of Social Workers.  During the 1940s and 1950s he was the president of the American Psychological Association as well.

• Rogers was well known for being the first to record his therapy sessions, thus demonstrating his theories and beliefs. 

• Provided audio recordings and training videos for other psychotherapists to use as training materials. 

• While at the University of Wisconsin, he wrote one of the most influential books, in 1961, entitled, On Becoming a Person: A Therapists View of Psychotherapy.

Assumptions• Rogers is well known for his work in “client-centered” approach used in psychotherapy. His belief was that the client was in charge of their own happiness. 

• The therapist was just there to guide the client in the right direction. He believed that in order for a client/therapist relationship to develop the therapist must embody these characteristics unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence.

• He also had a “self-theory” in which he described how the client views himself/herself, and how through therapy can help change their view and future. 

• Roger’s theories and principals put together are better known today as “Humanistic Psychology,” His version focused more on helping the individual help themselves instead of diagnosing.

• Roger’s interest in the client achieving his/her full potential in life is what we know as “self-actualizing”, and thus, leading the client to become a “full-functioning person,” whisk is fact was the ultimate goal.

Stages of Theory

Self Actualization Tendency= is the built-in tendency to develop in a positive way. Those who have self-actualized have achieved autonomy, self-sufficiency, and personal growth.

The person centered assumes that each person has a need for Unconditional Positive Regard = acceptance, respect, sympathy, and love regardless of performance.

Most people receive Conditional Positive Regard = is acceptance only for doing what parents or society insists upon; the person is valued for what he/she does, not for who he/she is.

Individuals may lose sight of their true worth by receiving Conditional Positive Regard. = They will leave the path of self-actualization and look to others for positive regard.

Page 10: Carl rogers ppt

Threat = occurs when we perceive incongruity between our experiences and our self-concept; when we no longer regard ourselves as a consistent whole but as fragmented and false.

When expecting a threatening situation, we feel Anxiety. Anxiety is a signal indicating that there is trouble ahead, avoid the situation! We avoid the situation by using Defenses.

Two defenses: Denial – blocking out the threatening situation altogether; Perceptual Distortion- reinterpreting the situation so that it appears less threatening.

Stages of Theory

Therapy

Client-Centered-The client should say what is wrong, find ways of improving, and determine the conclusion of therapy.

Reflection- Mirroring of emotional communication so the client understands that the therapist is listening and cares enough to understand.

Requirements of the therapist1. Congruence- genuineness, honesty with the client2. Empathy- the ability to feel what the client feels.3. Respect- acceptance, unconditional positive regard towards the client

These qualities are necessary and sufficient

Pros

Developed the “Person Centered Theory”

Rogers was the 1st to record/video tape sessions for educational purposes.

1st to refer to the person as a “Client” instead of patient

Coined the term “Self Theory” the client views themselves, and how through therapy they can change their view of the future and how they desire to live.

Rogers believed that “the core of man’s nature is essentially positive”. Victims of violent crimes would disagree.

Cons

Rogers believed that “the core of man’s nature is essentially positive”. Victims of violent crimes would disagree.

Rogers believed humans were essentially “trustworthy Organisms:

Rogers “Actualizing Tendency” is contradictory to his belief that people are essentially good and trustworthy.

The Idea of “Ideal Self”- (What I want to be) may be very far from what is actual and/or realistic.

How Rogers Theories May Be Used in Educational Practice

As educational counselors, Roger’s theory of “Person Centered Therapy” may be very helpful in guiding students to pursue their strengths.

By using Roger’s techniques of “Humanistic Psychology” counselors can help students help themselves.

Through creating a positive relationship with the students the counselor has the opportunity to instill, “conditions of worth” in his/her students.
