According to Rogers, what are the three major components of any relationship that facilitate personal growth?
Carl Ransom Rogers was an American psychologist, who proposed theory of humanistic approach to psychology along with others. He along with few others is considered as the psychotherapy research’s founding father. He possessed person-centered approach for understanding personality and human relationships. He studied on various domains of psychotherapy and counseling.
According to Rogers, there are three conditions, which is an essentiality for the promotion of growth in personal self. These conditions are applied everywhere, be it an interaction between child and his parents or patient and his doctor. These are genuineness, acceptance, and empathy.
One needs to be genuine enough to find and accept his self-disclosure. He should be open about his real self. This idealism should further be accepted by everyone. An unconditional positive regard is to be provided to the person by his family and society as a whole.
Finally, it is needed to be listened and understood by everyone, the real self about the person. Only by accepting these three factors, one may achieve personal growth.
