Humanistic Therapy

The idea

Client-centered therapy provides unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness so the client can direct their own change.

In practice

The therapist reflects the client's own account rather than interpreting it or assigning tasks.

Where people slip

Non-directive does not mean passive. Accurate reflection is a demanding skill.
