Carl Rogers Person Centered Theory
Believed that everyone’s main goal is to achieve self actualization
In order to achieve Self Actualization….environment must be genuine, accepting, and empathetic----- way people think of us effect the way we feel of ourselves
We are always evaluated!
Positive Regard- people (mostly children) always seek people’s approval! How so?
The Conditions of Worth- the person, instead of the behavior is evaluated
In order to be self- actualized we
need…. Unconditional Positive Regard- an attitude
of total acceptance toward another person. Empathetic- showing understanding to
people. All aspects effect how we view our self.
This assignment will help you review the 3 theorists that we just
discussed in class Directions: You will create a poster that summarizes the 3 major
psychologists we have studied so far and the different concepts to their theories.
Step 1: Break your Poster down into 3 sections- Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, and Carl Rogers
Step 2: Summarize each of the psychologists’ theories in
Example: Under Freud I would write. “Sigmund Freud believed in the unconscious……..”
Step 3: Define any key words and terms under each psychologist. Under step 2 define any key terms.
Step 4: Make it look creative!
Pointers: Work as a team. Assign each person a task! One person could be the Freud expert, while another could be a Maslow Expert.
