Humanistic Therapies: based on the motto that you can be your best YOU.
Client-Centered Therapy Emphasizes healthy psychological growth through self-actualization.
• Its main technique is reflection of feeling.• Paraphrasing a client’s words to capture the emotional tone expressed.
“You seem as if you’re upset.”“You look as if you’re a bit down.”
“You act as if you are irritated”“So what I hear you saying is…”
The tone of voice accompanying the words must be compassionate, gentle and accepting.
Developed by Carl Rogers.
Other techniques used are empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard .
