Watching him connect with his patients and creating safety and trust is amazing to observe.

I prefer the humanistic approach to psychodynamic - although I think transference plays a part - which is very much played down in the humanistic approach.

i did a 2200 word essay on Rogers and the person-centred approach last week :-) it was originally called "nondirective therapy" and then it was called "client-centred therapy" before being finally changed to "person-centred therapy".

rogers' conditions for therapeutic personality change have been adopted all over the field of psychotherapy, not just those psychotherapists who identify as person-centred therapists.

no, not at all. everyone studies freud but carl rogers created CLIENT CENTERED THERAPY and was part of the Humanistic movement of psychotherapy that began in the 60s. Check on his book ON BECOMING A PERSON.
For helping clients he came up with 4 unique principles which he practiced with great success:

1) Congruence

2) Empathic listening

3) Empathy

4) Unconditional positive regard

I have just completed a course in Counselling and found his ideas very refreshing compared to Freud's pschodynamic theories - although I think transference is an important part of counselling and I'm not sure if Rogers recognised this.

weird. i have heard of him but never seen a video. didnt he develop theories from freud?

no, freud created the psicoanalisis and Rogers created the humanism a new way of psicology
