ABSTRACT

The approach(es) to therapy based on person-centred principles are various. They include focusing, experiential psychotherapy, process-experiential psychotherapy and creative and expressive forms too. Even the form originating directly from Carl Rogers and which has variously been referred to as `non-directive therapy', `client-centred therapy' and `person-centred therapy' has shifted and adapted along the way. So just what is it that characterises the person-centred therapies?
