Person Centered Approach

Abstract This article describes, theoretically analyzes, and exemplifies, through a fictitious vignette, a psychological intervention of a clinical nature, developed by psychologists in a tertiary mental health care hospital, as an alternative to conventional physical restraint in situations of acute psychotic crises. The theoretical framework adopted is Person-Centered Approach, developed by the North American psychologist Carl Rogers. The psychological intervention reveals the importance of an interpersonal relationship in the care of patients who are going through a psychotic crisis. The psychologist’s therapeutic posture includes the three attitudes advocated by Carl Rogers as necessary and sufficient to facilitate the process of resuming personal autonomy (congruence or authenticity, unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding), in addition to confidence in the patient’s own actualizing tendency. The therapeutic strategy presented is a possible resource to be used to stabilize the person in crisis. These attitudes were initially proposed by Rogers and his team to develop and maintain a psychotherapeutic intervention process, but they also proved to be effective in the experience of Brazilian psychologists in relation to patients with severe mental disorders in acute crises.

Person Centered Approach

Counseling interventions with paranoid schizophrenics can be daunting. While chemical, directive, and behavioral controls often are considered important, nondirective counseling techniques used by the therapeutic staff may help schizophrenic patients explore their thoughts and feelings. Several nondirective concepts pioneered by Carl Rogers are examined. These methods, which represent basic concepts of the person-centered approach, are empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. A brief illustration of an interaction with a patient diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic is presented to suggest the effectiveness of Rogerian counseling.

Person Centered Approach

Though professionally unaware of each other, Carl and Fred Rogers had much–including religious upbringings, early career interests in child well-being, and primary aspects of their philosophies on life and human potential–in common. Carl Rogers became one of the most influential American psychologists to date, in formulating person-centered approaches to psychotherapy and life, and as a children’s television host Fred Rogers was–and has remained, in the eyes of generations of kids and adults alike over the last 50 some-odd years–in many ways perhaps the most exemplary late 20th century embodiment of Carl Rogers’ proposed way of being. Here, I–a mentor to motivated students in the meteorological and psychological sciences, and others in wider life–discuss my discovery of the person-centered approach, via childhood exposure to Fred Rogers; and provide perspective on the ways the person-centered approach can be utilized to foster more effective and meaningful mentorship and learning-based relationships.

Person Centered Approach

The Motivation Toward the Environment Scale (MTES), developed in Canada, measures people’s self-determined motivation for doing something for the environment. Answering the call by its original developers, this study further validated the MTES within a sample of 779 Dutch-speaking senior secondary school students, aged 17 to 19, in the north of Belgium. More specifically, reliability and construct validity of a Dutch translation of the MTES were verified. To this measure, confirmatory factor analysis was used, and the hypothesized simplex structure was tested through correlation analyses. Results confirmed the reliability of the MTES and a five-scale version of the MTES, excluding identified motivation, is introduced. This variable-centered approach was complemented by the adoption of a person-centered approach for identifying MTES profiles. Using cluster analysis, four meaningful MTES profiles emerged, with amotivation scoring medium to high in all but one. Theoretical implications of the findings and suggestions for interventions and further research are discussed.

This article aims to present the theoretical-methodological route, built by the first author in his Master's Dissertation under the guidance of the second, based on Hans-Georg Gadamer hermeneutic-philosophical philosophy. Its relevance is justified because it is a structured alternative for conducting bibliographic research within the scope of the Person Centered Approach (PCA). For this, we initially want to justify an epistemological choice of gadamerian hermeneutics in its relation to the research objective. Then, we present the conceptual network formed by the articulation of prejudice, language, tradition, update and fusion of horizons that supports this perspective, in a ways that allows, later, to systematize the phases of information investigation, comprehensive analysis and hermeneutic synthesis to the development of research on the proposed problem. The article ends with the observation of the potentiality and proficiency related to the approximation, and consequent articulation, between PCA and the Gadamerian philosophical perspective, with reflections on the implications regarding the use of a hermeneutic-philosophical method in the production of knowledge in the approach.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hearing loss in old age is a vexing problem and millions of people worldwide are suffering from it. The aim of this study is to identify the problems which geriatric individuals with hearing loss experience and to help them to overcome their disability and its effects on social engagement and interpersonal relationship.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital and is based on prospective study. The data collection was done in the form of confrontational interview.  </p><p><strong>Results:</strong> According to our study individuals suffering from moderate hearing loss have difficulty in communicating with friends, relatives and even strangers. They even face problems in travelling. They feel disoriented during conversation and tend to miss out parts of conversation. They tend to use their visual signals more than hearing for example while watching television they try to focus and interpret more by the video than by listening to the audio. People suffering from mild to moderate hearing loss try to ignore the disability and request people to repeat statements but inadvertently still miss out the conversation and the try to ignore the handicap.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Age related hearing loss known as presbycusis and it is one of the most prevalent conditions in old age and millions of people worldwide are afflicted. It is one of the leading cause of overall diminution of physical and mental performance in old age. It is often neglected and remains undetected for long in geriatric population due to gradual progression.</p>

Empathy, honesty, and integrity are essential concepts to ensure the quality of the therapy relationship and the client’s trust in the therapist. This chapter situates these concepts in relation to the necessary and sufficient conditions for therapy proposed by Carl Rogers in the late 1950s, and particularly in relation to the therapist attitudes of empathic understanding, unconditional positive regard, and congruence. In person-centered therapy (PCT), empathy is a moral, not instrumental, practice that nondirectively protects the self-determination of the client. It exemplifies power with others, avoiding power over others, and facilitating power from within, by providing a conduit for non-possessive love, the active ingredient in PCT. Honesty in PCT involves the sincerity of the therapist’s unconditional empathy and the transparence to be a full person in relation to a client. Integrity refers not only to the disciplined moral practice of empathy, but an extensional, fully functioning maturation.
