Question 2
How did Rogers's approach to counseling eventually differ from his psychoanalytic training?
a. In a dramatic departure from previous beliefs that the therapist should be passive and emotionally detached from clients, Rogers suggested that the therapist can and must engage in an interpersonal relationship with the client.
b. Because of his early training in theology, Rogers discussed religion and spirituality with his clients. These were not part of the psychoanalytic approach to therapy.
c. Rogers believed that clients are lost and needed direct advice so that they can get on with their lives.
d. Psychoanalytic practitioners pioneered scientific inquiry into what techniques and approaches were effective with clients. Rogers had no use for this approach. Rather, he used his intuition.
e. Psychoanalytic practitioners used a variety of settings, such as group therapy, family relationships, and teaching and learning environments. However, Rogers focused his work on individual counseling.
