ROGERS ' PHENOMENOLOGICAL
POSITIONS
what is considered real for an individual
is what exists within the internal
coordinate system of a person (his
subjective world)
 people are able to determine their fate
 people are inherently kind and have a
desire for perfection
PERSONALITY DEVELOOPMENT
 Self-image - How we see ourselves, which is important to good
psychological health. Self-image includes the influence of our
body image on inner personality. At a simple level, we might
perceive ourselves as a good or bad person, beautiful or ugly.
Self-image affects how a person thinks, feels and behaves in the
world.
 Ideal-self - This is the person who we would like to be. It
consists of our goals and ambitions in life, and is dynamic – i.e.,
forever changing. The ideal self in childhood is not the ideal self
in our teens or late twenties etc.
"A fully functioning person" is a term used by
Rogers to refer to people who use their
abilities and talents, exercise their capabilities
and move towards a full knowledge of
themselves and the scope of their experiences
 Personal characteristics necessary for fully
functioning people : 1) openness to experience - all
experiences are accurately symbolized in their consciousness, without being
distorted or denied

2) the existential way of life - the tendency to live fully and richly at every
moment of existence, so that each experience is perceived as fresh and unique,
different from what it was before

3) organizational trust - the ability of a person to take into account his inner
feelings and consider them as the basis for choosing behavior..
4) empirical freedom - a person can
freely live as he wants, without
restrictions or prohibitions. "The only
one who is responsible for my own
actions and their consequences is
myself."
Freedom+responsibility=unlimited
opportunities.
5) Creativity-Creative people are able to
flexibly adapt to changing
environmental conditions
