Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Rogers argued that person-centered therapy provides a clearer view of a person's experiential world than all other forms of assessment and therapy. The therapist gives them unconditional positive regard and offers no judgments about their behavior or advice on how to behave. Everything centers on the client, including the responsibility for changing behavior and reevaluating relationships.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: In Rogers's opinion, we are not doomed to conflict with our selves or with our society. We are not ruled by instinctive biological forces or controlled by events of the first 5 years of life. We experience our world openly, not defensively, and we seek challenge and stimulation instead of the security of the familiar.
