What Did Carl Rogers Really Say About Therapy?

What Did Carl Rogers Really Say About Therapy?

Carl Rogers is probably one of the most well-known names in psychology of all time. His work is still often featured in introductory textbooks, even though he died almost 40 years ago in 1987. He is best remembered for developing client-centered therapy in the 1940s and 1950s. At the time, it was a radical new way of doing therapy because it turned the world of therapy on its head. Therapy was no longer something that the therapist did to a patient; it was about creating a relationship that freed the client to be an active agent for their own change. This was a truly innovative approach that went against the grain of previous psychoanalytic or behavioral therapies, and to this day, it is an idea that permeates the helping professions. Few therapists or psychologists today will not be influenced by Rogers and his idea that it was not so much what the therapist did to a client, but the way in which they related to a client. Specifically, he is remembered for proposing that empathy, …

Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers apologize for saying listeners shouldn’t donate to Crockett campaign

Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers apologize for saying listeners shouldn’t donate to Crockett campaign

In a series of social media posts over the weekend, comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers apologized for their comments on the Senate campaign of Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The hosts of the “Las Culturistas” podcast discouraged their listeners from donating to the Texas Democrat’s campaign in their most recent episode, which touched on Democratic politics and the 2028 presidential election. Crockett announced a bid to be the Democratic nominee in December. “Any time a politician is making it too obviously about themselves, I’m already done,” Rogers said. “And don’t waste your money sending to Jasmine Crockett. Do not do it.” Later in the episode, Rogers gave his reasoning. “She’s not going to win a Senate seat in Texas, you guys. If Beto O’Rourke couldn’t do it, Jasmine Crockett is not going to to do it,” he said. “It’s nothing against her… [She is] very well defined already.” “I’m interested in this Talarico guy from Texas. I haven’t seen him before. It would be hard for them to define him as anything other than what he …

Aston Villa swat Forest aside as Watkins and Rogers confirm status as deadliest duo

“They are fantastic players and fantastic competitors,” said Unai Emery, as second-placed Villa moved to within three points of Arsenal and 12 ahead of Chelsea in fifth. “Their focus and desire to improve things, their commitment to the club is massive. “That commitment is huge, the same as the connection with supporters and the work and the standards they set every day. “They are so professional in everything that they do, not just on the pitch but every day at the training ground and behind the scenes too.” Allied to the contribution of Watkins and Rogers, which ensured Forest’s mistakes did not go unpunished and prevented Sean Dyche’s men from growing in confidence, John McGinn shone with a second-half double as Villa bounced back from Tuesday’s defeat at the Emirates. “We won today and are playing well,” Emery continued, doing his best to downplay suggestions that Villa are genuine contenders. “Of course, our target is Europe but it’s one step at a time.” While Villa peer excitedly towards the future, Forest appeared consumed by an …
