    Question

    The type of counseling process proposed by Carl Rogers is:

    A.

    Directive counseling

    B.

    Eclectic counseling

    C.

    Dominant counseling

    D.

    Non-directive counseling

    Correct option is D

    Carl Rogers developed non-directive counseling (also called client-centered or person-centered therapy), which emphasizes the client's capacity for self-direction and growth, with the therapist providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

    Information Booster:
    • Rogers believed clients have the innate capacity to understand themselves and resolve their own problems when provided with the right conditions
    • The three core conditions for therapeutic change are: unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence (genuineness)
    • In non-directive counseling, the therapist acts as a facilitator rather than an expert who gives advice or directions
    • The approach emphasizes active listening, reflection of feelings, and creating a safe therapeutic relationship
    • Rogers' work revolutionized psychotherapy by shifting focus from therapist-directed intervention to client empowerment
    • This approach influenced counseling practice, education, and organizational development worldwide

    Additional Knowledge:
    • (A) Directive counseling: This approach has the counselor actively guiding, advising, and directing the client—opposite of Rogers' method
    • (B) Eclectic counseling: This combines techniques from multiple theoretical approaches rather than adhering to one specific method
