Carl Roger's 'Person Centered Therapy' or PCT is one of the most popular types of psychotherapy used all over the world. This method is at the heart of all 'humanistic' modes of psychotherapy. It's main technique is to adopt a non-judgmental environment by which the psychotherapist gradually helps the client to find a solution for his/her problem by him/herself. Following are the six core aspect of Carl Rogers' PCT which have been outlined in his book "Client-centered Therapy." (1951).
1. Therapist-Client Psychological Contact: There should be a proper bonding between the therapist and the client.
2. Client Incogruence or Vulnerability: The client's vulnerability and anxiety compel him to continue his relationship with his therapist.
3. Therapist Congruence or Genuiness: The therapist is also deeply involved with his client. He shares his own experiences with his clients.
4. Therapist Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR): The therapist accepts the client unconditionally without passing any judgement on his/her actions,feelings or attitudes.
5. Therapist Empathic Understanding: The therapist feels intense sympathy for his client. He/she genuinely feels or experiences the same feelings and emotions of his/her client.
6. Client Perception: The client perceives at least to a certain extent that the therapist genuinely accepts him unconditionally and understands his feelings.
