Criticisms: minimizes patient responsibility, neglects conscious motives and the present, fairly costly, testability. Therapeutic approach: non-directive, client-centered, and person-centered are the terms rogers used at different points in his career, for his method. This method involves removing obstacles so the client can move forward freeing them to their own normal growth and development. Being non-directive lets the client deal with what they consider important at their own pace. Six conditions necessary for therapeutic change: two persons are in psychological contact, first person, the client, is in a state of incongruence. Gestalt therapy: founded by fritz perls, therapist directs client to get in touch with feelings, resolve, unfinished business.
