ABSTRACT
Carl Ransom Rogers was born on January 8th in the Midwest of America. One of the most fundamental beliefs held by Rogers was of the inherent goodness, which lies at the core of all human beings. Rogers remained committed to his belief in the goodness of human beings for his whole life, and much of his work was concerned with developing ways in which people may actually come to believe this of themselves. Whilst Rogers was a great advocate of therapy for others, he was a reluctant client himself. Rogers also spent a great deal of time with individual clients many of whom have become famous case studies. Rogers' biographers claim: He was responsible for the spread of professional counselling and psychotherapy beyond psychiatry and psychoanalysis to all helping professions- psychology, social work, education, ministry, lay therapy and others.
