The necessary and sufficient conditions of therapeutic personality change.

Abstract: For many years I have been engaged in psychotherapy with individuals in distress. In recent years I have found myself increasingly concerned with the process of abstracting from that experience the general principles which appear to be involved in it. I have endeavored to discover any orderliness, any unity which seems to inhere in the subtle, complex tissue of interpersonal relationship in which I have so constantly been immersed in therapeutic work. One of the current products of this concern is an attempt t… Show more

“…Several theories have contributed to the development of our model relative to the impact of therapist behaviors. Carl Rogers (1957) believed that certain therapist facilitative behaviors, such as empathy, warmth, etc., helped to create an optimal environment in which the client would be able to change. While it is now not generally believed that these behaviors are sufficient for therapy change, we do believe that these are necessary therapist behaviors to induce other therapy relationship variables that lead to better use of evidence-based treatments resulting in optimal treatment outcomes.…”

“…The psychotherapy in each of the four clinical trials differed slightly according to the nature of the original study. The therapeutic modalities included 32 clients in EFT (Greenberg, Rice, & Elliott, 1993) and another 2 clients in client-centered therapy (Rogers, 1957), both treatments that embody highly humanistic and experiential therapies. In the sample of 34 cases, treatment was conducted by 19 therapists (17 women and 2 men).…”

“…The problem, as defined by Rogers (1957), is the client's incongruence, a "discrepancy between the actual experience of the organism and the self picture of the individual's experience" (p.222) that leads to the distortion or denial of organismic experiences and leaves the individual vulnerable to anxiety and depression. Organismic experience refers to the ways that persons experience themselves and their environment through their bodily felt sense (e.g., physical, sensory, visceral), cognitions and emotions.…”

“…Organismic experience refers to the ways that persons experience themselves and their environment through their bodily felt sense (e.g., physical, sensory, visceral), cognitions and emotions. Rogers (1957Rogers ( , 1959 proposed that these experiences are inhibited when persons 'introject' the values or conditions of worth (i.e., adverse judgment, disapproval) of significant others to gain social acceptance. Rehabilitation counsellors may also encounter individuals whose incongruence can be attributed to being temporarily overwhelmed by traumatic onset of impairment, change of body image, and the subsequent loss of valued social roles that are at odds with their self-concept (Crisp, 2010(Crisp, , 2011).…”
