Person-Centered Therapy:

Creator: Carl Rogers

Therapy used for what DSM5 Diagnoses: Person-centered therapy can be used to treat a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. (APA reference: American Psychological Association. (2017). Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5). American Psychiatric Association Publishing.)

Emphasis of Therapy Modality: Person-centered therapy places emphasis on the client’s subjective experience and emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist.

Goals of Therapy Modality: The ultimate goal of person-centered therapy is to help clients achieve self-actualization and increase their sense of self-awareness and self-esteem.

Notes: Person-centered therapy is a non-directive approach that focuses on the client’s experience and encourages self-exploration and growth.
