Hello and welcome to my first post in 2013.
in this post I would cover, key concepts of person centred counselling, as I know a lot of students will be preparing to take exams and I thought this video would be very useful to you.
To fully understand Rogers theory you need to first understand that he go a lot of his ideas from his experiences living on a farm in Oak, Park Illinois, near Chicago in the United States of America, He moved to the farm when he was around 12 years in age and as the 4th of six children ,Rogers was encouraged to help run the farm ( he raised sheep). Rogers believed that every living thing be it a plant , animal or human being had the ability to grow and develop to the best of it’s ability in spite of it’s ( or their) circumstances.
This basic idea sets Rogers apart from other psychological thinkers of the time, as he believed that every one had the ability to grow and develop, and was basically born ’OK’ , The key concepts of Person Centred Counselling Theory video explains, Rogers terminology in everyday language.
I hope you enjoy it
Rory
