The client/person – centered approach was developed by the American psychologist Carl R. Rogers. His approach focuses on people, with everything they carry and bring with them. In psychotherapy and counseling, conflicts, patterns and learned behaviors that cause problems for people in the present time are uncovered. People experience and learn to discover and develop their hidden abilities and independently find solutions to their problems. The basic attitude of the therapist is a characteristic of this method. Congruence, empathy and absolute appreciation form the basis for a trusting conversation.
