Carl Ransom Rogers

(January 8, 1902 February 4, 1987)
Carl R. Rogers was an influential American psychologist and among the founders of the humanistic approach to psychology. Rogers is widely considered to be one of the founding fathers of psychotherapy research and was honored for his pioneering research with the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions by the American Psychological Association in 1956. The person-centered approach, his own unique approach to understanding personality and human relationships, found wide application in various domains such as psychotherapy and counseling (client-centered therapy), education (student-centered learning), organizations, and other group settings. For his professional work he was bestowed the Award for Distinguished Professional Contributions to Psychology by the APA in 1972. Towards the end of his life Carl Rogers was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with national intergroup conflict in South Africa and Northern Ireland. In a study by Haggbloom et al. (2002) using six criteria such as citations and recognition, Rogers was found to be the sixth most eminent psychologist of the 20th century and second, among clinicians, only to Sigmund Freud. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rogers -2-

Carl Rogers : 10 learnings

On Becoming a Person (This Is Me), 1961
It does not help, in the long run, to act as though I were something that I am not. I am more effective when I can listen acceptantly to myself, and can be myself. I have found it of enormous value when I an permit myself to understand another person. I have found it enriching to open channels whereby others can communicate their feelings, their private worlds, to me. I have found it highly rewarding when I can accept another person. The more I am open to the realities in me and in the other person, the less do I find myself wishing to rush in to fix things. I can trust my experience. Evaluation by others is not a guide for me. What is most personal is most general. It has been my experience that persons have a basically positive -3direction.

Carl Rogers : On Becoming a Person

(This Is Me), 1961 There is no philosophy or belief or set of principles which I could encourage or persuade others to have or hold. I can only try to live by my interpretation of the current meaning of my experience, and try to give others the permission and freedom to develop their own inward freedom and thus their own meaningful interpretation of their own experience. If there is such a thing as truth, this free individual process of search should, I believe, converge toward it. And in a limited way, this is also what I seem to have experienced.

(The Facilitation of Personal Growth), 1961 If I can create a relationship characterized on my part : by a genuineness and transparency, in which I am my real feelings; by a warm acceptance of and prizing of the other person as a separate individual; by a sensitive ability to see his world and himself as he sees them; ..

(The Facilitation of Personal Growth), 1961 . Then the other individual in the relationship :
will experience and understand aspects of himself which previously he has repressed; will find himself better integrated, more able function effectively; will become more similar to the person he would like to be; will be more self-directing and self-confident; will become more of a person, more unique and more selfexpressive; will be more understanding, more acceptant of others; will be able to cope with the problems of life more adequately and more comfortably. -7-

Toward a more even distribution of material goods Toward a society with minimal structure human needs taking priority over any tentative structure that develops. Toward leadership as a temporary, shifting function, based on competence for meeting a specific social need. Toward a more genuine and caring concern for those who need help. Toward a human conception of science - in its creative phase, the testing of hypotheses, the valuing of the humanness of its applications. Toward creativity of all sorts in thinking and exploring in the areas of social relationships, the arts, social design, architecture, urban and regional planning, science, and the study of psychic phenomena - 12 -
