Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Carl Rogers originated a popular approach to psychotherapy known initially as non-directive or client-centered therapy, which later came to be called person-centered therapy. It tells us that the ability to change and improve personality is centered within the person. In other words, it is the person and not the therapist who directs such change. The therapist's role is to assist or facilitate the change.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Rogers's personality theory, like Maslow's, is rooted in humanistic psychology, which Rogers made the framework for the patienttherapist relationship. Rogers did not develop his theory from experimental research conducted in laboratories, but rather from his experiences working with patients, or clients as he preferred to call them.
