What is the main treatment attitude of Rogers' patient-centered therapy?
"Patient-centered therapy" is also called "people-centered therapy". Its founder Rogers is an American humanistic psychologist in the 20th century. Rogers believes that human beings have the tendency of self-realization, which is the theoretical premise of Rogers' positive view of human nature. As long as any living thing is endowed with life, it must have a strong growth trend. Just as a tree must grow into a lush tree, so must a small animal. This realization tendency, like reproduction, is the tendency of self-protection, self-reinforcement and self-regeneration of organisms and is the core of organisms. He said: "The most impressive fact of human beings seems to be that they are developing in the direction of directed potential." People-centered therapy adopts a non-guiding treatment attitude. Rogers thinks that people have the ability of self-guidance, and he thinks that therapists are not omniscient. He has no ready-made answer to the visitor's question. He believes that only the visitors themselves know his problems best and only the visitors themselves can solve their own problems. Therapists only act as catalysts for chemical reactions, helping visitors understand their own problems and promoting their transformation and growth. Non-directive therapy attaches importance to the individual's psychological independence and the right to maintain a complete psychological state. The key to the treatment attitude is the therapist's respect and trust for the visitors. And establish a cooperative relationship to help visitors develop their personal potential and promote self-change and self-growth. The change and growth of people is the focus and result of treatment. As for the solution of the problem, it is only a by-product of personal growth.
