    Carl Rogers developed Client-Centered Therapy and was a founder of Humanistic Psychology. He believed that people shape themselves through free choice and action. According to Rogers, the self is composed of self-perceptions that are organized into a consistent self-concept. This self-concept influences behavior, feelings, and thoughts, and has three components: self-worth, self-image, and ideal self. Rogers proposed that congruence between the real self and ideal self facilitates growth, while incongruence inhibits it. The three conditions that foster growth are genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy.

    CARL ROGERS

    SELF-THEORY
    People shape themselves through freedom of choice and action.
    Carl Rogers was an American Psychologists best
    known for developing the psychotherapy method
    called Client-centered Therapy.
    He was also one of the founders of Humanist
    Psychology.

    The self is made up of many self-perceptions, abilities, and personality characteristics that are
    organized and consistent with another.
    Self concept plays an important rule in personality because it influence human behavior, feeling,
    and thoughts.
    Self concept refers to how people see or describe themselves.
    The humanistic approach states that the
    self is compose of concept unique to
    ourselves. The self concept includes three
    components.

    1. Self worth (or self esteem)


    2. Self image
    3. Ideal self

    1. Self worth (or self esteem) is an individual’s subjective evaluation of their own worth and it
    encompasses beliefs about oneself as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and
    shame.
    ◦ Rogers believed feelings of self worth developed in early childhood and were formed from the
    interaction of the child with mother and father.
    2. Self- image is the personal view, or mental picture, that we have of ourselves. Self-image describes
    the characteristics of the self, including such things as intelligent, beautiful, ugly, talented, selfish,
    and kind.

    ◦ Self-image has an effect on how a person thinks, feels, and behave in the world.
    ◦ Self-image include the influence of our body image on inner personality.

    Two types of self-image


    1. Negative- we focus on our faults and weaknesses, distorting failure and imperfections.
    2. Positive- we recognize our own assets and potentials while being realistic about our liabilities
    and limitations.
    3. Ideal self represents the ideal image developed by a person as he/she would like
    to be. It represents our dynamic ambitions and goals.

    ◦ It is consists of our goals and ambitions in life, and is dynamic- forever changing.
    ◦ The ideal self is not the ideal self in our teens or late twenties, etc.
    Humanistic perspective

    ◦ Carl Rogers, viewed personality structure in terms of “Self-concept” or the beliefs about ones
    own behavior, nature qualities.

    The humanistic perspective incorporates the idea of self-help, including the notion that a person
    can be responsible for his or her own happiness. Likewise, an unhappy or dissatisfied person can
    make changes that will result in their eventual happiness and self-actualization.
    Incongruence
    ◦ Lack of consistency or appropriateness, as in inappropriate effect or as when as one’s subjective
    evaluation of a situation is at odds with reality.
    As defined by Carl Rogers, a lack of alignment between the real self and ideal self. See real-ideal
    self congruence.
    Congruence
    Described as a state in which a person’s ideal self and actual experience are consistent or very
    similar.
    In the phenomenological personality theory of Carl Rogers, (a) the need for a therapist to act in
    accordance with his or her true feelings rather than with a stylized image of a therapist or (b) the
    conscious integration of an experiment into the self.
    Carl Rogers’ Person-centered Perspective
    - according Rogers, people are usually good.
    Just like how a tree need water, sun, and nutrients to grow, we need genuineness, acceptance and
    empathy to grow.

    “3 conditions that facilitates growth”

    1. Genuineness- being transparent and self-disclosing.


    2. Acceptance/ Unconditional positive regard- an attitude of caring acceptance and prizing that
    others express toward an individual irrespective of his or her behavior and without regard to the
    others’ personal standards. Unconditional positive regard is considered conducive to the individual’s
    self-awareness, self-worth, and personality growth; it is according to Carl Rogers, a universal human
    need essential to healthy development.

    There is also another positive regard which is the Conditional positive regard. It is an attitude of
    acceptance and esteem that others express toward an individual on a conditional basis, that is,
    depending on the acceptability of the individual’s behavior in accordance with the others’ personal
    standards.

    3. Empathy- understanding others situation, identify and understand other people’s emotion.
