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
