Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) - SECTION A -


Section A

1. Selected Therapeutic Approach

The Therapeutic approach I have selected is the Person-Centred Approach by Carl Rogers (1902-
1987). I am positive this is the appropriate approach because it client-concentrated.

INTRODUCTION

Therapy revolution takes us back to the 1800's when Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) developed a
theory of personality. It is regarded as the first generation therapy approach known as
Psychodynamic approaches birthed by Freud and Alfred Adler. Psychodynamic approach were
modelled on psychoanalysis, conscious actions and human behaviour.

Second generation theories comprises the experiential and relationship oriented therapies: the
existential approach founded by Victor Frankl, Rollo May, and Irvin Yalom and Person-Centred
Approach, are more concerned with defining and exploring what it means to be human. Third
generation therapies such as reality therapy, behaviour therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy
are action oriented, because they all emphasise translating insights into behavioural action. The
fourth generation encompasses the systems and postmodern perspectives. Feminist therapy and

within this generation is on understanding behaviour within its context (Corey, 2012).

Combining all of these dimensions provides the basis for a comprehensive therapy. All theories
contribute to the wellness of a client and there is no right or wrong approach as each offers a
