di Dan Biscayne (Autore)

Dan Biscayne, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Person-Centered Theory, developed by Carl Rogers, represents a transformative approach in psychology that has profoundly influenced therapy, education, and human development. At its heart, this theory challenges traditional models that view the individual as a passive recipient of external forces or as a set of symptoms to be treated. Instead, Rogers placed the person—their subjective experience, innate capacity for growth, and drive toward self-actualization—at the center of psychological understanding. This audiobook embarks on a comprehensive exploration of Person-Centered Theory, tracing its origins, core concepts, and enduring relevance. Rogers’ ideas emerged during a period when psychology was largely dominated by behaviorist and psychoanalytic schools that often emphasized pathology, control, or unconscious drives. Person-Centered Theory offered a humanistic alternative, highlighting the importance of empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard within therapeutic relationships. Central to this theory is the belief that people have an inherent tendency to develop toward health, wholeness, and fulfillment. Psychological distress arises primarily when individuals experience incongruence—when their self-concept conflicts with their experiences or environment. By creating a climate of acceptance and understanding, therapists can facilitate a person’s own process of self-exploration and healing, rather than directing or imposing change. This audiobook aims to present both a clear theoretical foundation and practical insights, inviting listeners to appreciate the timeless wisdom of Rogers’ vision. Through its chapters, you will discover a compassionate and empowering approach to human psychology—one that continues to inspire those seeking to understand and support the growth of self and others.
