    There was something special in his voice. I find the best way to prep for a therapy session with a client is to listen to Rogers speaking for 10 minutes beforehand.he was spiritual as well as psychological. That was his gift.

    All these years later Carl Rogers' ideas have transformed the field of psychotherapy, yet many modern therapists don't seem to even know who he is or what he believed. I have some concern that in the age of measurable-results-centered treatment that person-centered treatment will wane. Nevertheless, I'm glad these videos are around and I always find Carl to be refreshing.

    i also wonder, why many modern therapists do not seem to know carl rogers. he was a head doctor in a psychiatric clinic! hm, i read, that his ansatz of person-centered treatment has been integrated in every psychotherapeutic education. ( i read it about germany because i live in germany.) it is a little bit a mystery, what became form his ansatz. greetings!

    @@selbst105 Social scientists have done many research studies to try to understand what aspects of therapy bring about change. Meta-analyses of hundreds of research studies reveal that there are four main categories of therapeutic dynamics that facilitate change. 1. Client Factors - accounts for 40% of change. This category includes anything about the client - their personality, their life situation, whether or not their dog just died, and so on. The therapist has no control or influence whatsoever over these factors. 2. The type of intervention used - accounts for 15% of change. This category includes whether the therapist used CBT, DBT, Person-Centered, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, etc. 3. Placebo Effect - accounts for 15% of change. People seem to get better simply because they believe that they will, and because they are engaged in treatment. 4. The Therapeutic Relationship - accounts for 30% of change. This category involves the quality of the relationship between the therapist and the client. Modern-day therapists and academics know this information. It is now common knowledge that it is very important for there to be a good relationship between the therapist and the client. This is exactly what Carl Rogers was speaking to (and it was NOT common knowledge before he proposed it; in fact, Freud believed any therapeutic relationship was harmful to therapy). That's why people say his philosophy is now a part of all therapeutic approaches. But what they are missing is that the Person-Centered approach isn't just a part of therapy - it IS therapy. But personal growth is hard to measure, and health insurance companies don't like to pay for things that can't be measured. They like paying for things that have studies saying "Anxiety reduced by 18%," and modalities like CBT are very easy to research and get such results.

    @@TheTherapistGamer hello! thank you for your answer and explanation.. i have to read it one more time when my concetnration is better, to understand everything. wahrt you write is reasonable. one question: what means CBT and DBT? " This is exactly what Carl Rogers was speaking to (and it was NOT common knowledge before he proposed it; in fact, Freud believed any therapeutic relationship was harmful to therapy). That's why people say his philosophy is now a part of all therapeutic approaches." i see! thank you! and now i understand, why it is said. "But what they are missing is that the Person-Centered approach isn't just a part of therapy - it IS therapy." right. i never tested the person-centered theerapy. i would like. but here in germany you have to pay for your own for it. other therapy-methods are paid from the health-sector. yes, i guess, i think similarly: that it IS the therapy. to me it sounds like a good ansatz. and other methods do not use it. ok, health incurance companies do not want to pay for unmeasurable things, i understand. i guess CBT means something like behavior. it seems a little superficial to me to say: go out. ( if you are afraid of going out.) but otherwise it is direct. i wonder, why mr rogers wanted to change the therapie itself (the whole) as a head doctor of a psychiatric clinic. in a way i feel like an object in behavioral therapy with an illness. one thought in between: maybe he thought differently about illness also. maybe he saw selfhealing power/potential in the person the person heals him/her-self. ? `which includes another view of illness. like: there is no ill person, but a powerfull. i do not like t say pople are mentally ill. sorry, i do not know so many things, facts, details about him. at the moment i have a physical therapy and i am stunning, how holistic they see pain and brain and person. the young guys there are very respectful and know a lot of things. i miss that with psychologists, these one i got to know and had met so far, the respectfulness. i feel almost a bit like in a psychotherapy in the physical therapy. it was a good experience. bye!

    @@selbst105 CBT is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The main idea of CBT is that a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected (which most would say is true), and that by changing your thoughts or behaviors you can change your feelings. This is a sound therapy and it is broadly used. However, I personally think it does lead therapists and clients to see the "problem" as being central in therapy and the approach can come across as "You have a sickness. We will apply this treatment to decrease the sickness." This works fine for many people. However, I think it is a fairly narrow perspective of human healing and it doesn't resonate with many people who go to therapy. Many people attend CBT therapy and have their symptoms reduced, but the symptoms gradually return after therapy stops. DBT is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It is very similar to CBT but it places a lot of focus on the client learning specific coping skills and employing them when they find it difficult to manage their emotions. It is primarily used for an issue termed Borderline Personality Disorder (another proposed name is Emotional Dysregulation Disorder). People with Borderline Personality Disorder tend to have very tumultuous relationships that they often sabotage. Underlying many of their struggles is a strong desire for close relationships, but a deep fear that they will be abandoned because they are flawed. Consequently, they tend to draw people close to them only to push them away (they push away so that they won't be abandoned). Many people in their lives have usually been hurt by the relationship dynamics. This isn't a full explanation, but I think it begins to illustrate that it is a complex issue. I personally think that DBT has some good parts to it, but that it is basically unlikely to bring about lasting, permanent change. I don't think it really gets at the deeper issues going on. However, it is extremely easy to research and measure ("They employed the coping skills 12 times last week but only 9 times the week before, ergo they are 25% better!"). Because the therapy is easy to measure, I think it is seen as more effective than it actually is. I think DBT also has other issues, such as very loose relationship boundaries between the therapist and client which actually can reinforce the very issue they are trying to work on in therapy. To be fair, though, it is usually difficult to provide helpful treatment to someone with Borderline Personality Disorder. What I am about to write is over-simplified, but I hope it can add clarity. In my opinion, a major part of therapy is looking at yourself and understanding yourself. Why do you think the way you think? Why do you feel the way you feel? Why do you do the things you do? However, people generally have a very difficult time doing this effectively because they unconsciously use many defense mechanisms. As you say, Karl Rogers believed that people were innately able to heal on their own, but only if they were in a therapeutic environment. He believed a therapist needs to provide empathy, unconditional positive regard ("I care about you no matter what"), and congruence (the therapist has to be genuine and not just going through the motions). He believed that if the therapist provided these three elements then the person would have a decreased need for defense mechanisms and thus would be able to truly look at themselves and understand themselves. He believed that this process would bring about lasting healing.

    That concepts of being equals, is transforming but yet challenging at the same time. IT really takes humility to try and comprehend this concept and practice it in life. It was true when he said that this concept is hard to attain when you think about hierarchical positions because it requires dying to self, choosing to be a servant leader. It is a hard concept to comprehend!

    What Carl Rogers refers to as the true understanding of "meeting as equals" regardless of exterior position (i.e., occupation, parent/child, teacher/student, etc.) is a revolutionary concept because it will fundamentally change the nature of relationships in humanity where no person, no status (no externalized symboli manifestation or definition) will be considered superior/inferior and upon it the pivotal axis of " the self" or "typical identity" itself will fundamentally alter on a neurophysiological basis (a deeper maturation of the neocortex). Essentially we can conceive of this deeper ability to process as the human transformation of empathy itself into deeper states (or processes) of empathic exchange/awareness. He was a century or more ahead of his time!

    I think it's fairly simple, as he said before, people have the tendency to "want" power, which makes it hard for an employee to ask their employer to not look down on them as much, in doubt the employee gets fired. People in power can only let go of it themselves or by people with even more power, they won't just let go of it voluntarily (typically speaking)
