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.
