Course description and
syllabus
Carl Rogers is an important
figure in the development of the "new"
psychology focusing on the self-resourceful
individual, and has had tremendous influence on
the development of counselling, psychotherapy
and personal communication skills as well as on
educational philosophy. Many new styles of
"humanistic" counselling and therapy owe their
debt to Rogers, who made popular the concepts of
"“nondirective”,
“client-centered” or “person-centered” helping
skills.
Nevertheless, he is not mentioned
in most hypnotherapy and NLP courses as well as
many counselling and psychotherapy courses which
may include outlines of such figures as Freud,
Jung and Adler but not Rogers.
If you have not
been acquainted with Rogers' ideas before now,
now is the time to fill that gap in your
professional and intellectual education. If you
just have a general interest in psychology,
ideas and people, this course will give you much
to ponder.
This certificate course comprises studies of a
representative selection of the written works of
Carl Rogers, including the following:
-
Fascinating
autobiographical material,
-
The nature of
therapeutic relationship,
-
The concept of the
person,
-
Theory and scientific research,
-
Rogers' view of education,
-
The nature of the
helping professions
-
Rogers and social
psychology.
Rogers has been called “the most influential
psychologist in American history”. The unit not
only provides an ideal overview of his work, but
students already acquainted with Rogers’
approach will find much diverse material to
increase their wider appreciation of this giant
of humanistic psychology.
