Carl Rogers

[Dawaz11]

When was this interview

[petersandyr]

Completely the wrong understanding of mankind! THE BIBLE

[roadster1252]

EEEYOWW...I was having a good time watching, until the camera panned to the lugs on the couch...

[Genkakuzai]

30% of the success rate in counseling is due to the counselor's personality alone. This is why Carl Rogers was an excellent Psychologist/Counselor. You can naturally feel how laid back and nonjudgmental he is just by listening to him speak.

[BigMillRip]

@Genkakuzai Yes it's true. Recent research attempting to compare different psychotherapy modalities has shown that they are all very much equally effective. However, the 'therapeutic alliance' (basically the strength of relationship between client & counsellor) was a hugely influential, more so than any other factor. This is further evidence that it is the social environment that causes distress, and that Rogers was right to highlight empathy & unconditional positive regard.

[Emaniac69]

@Genkakuzai Could it be? Someone who might be able to help me find this publication(s)?

Do you happen to have the name of that article (or book) that breaks down the contributors of therapeutic success? I have heard about this publication many times but none of my professors is familiar with it. It would be of great help.

[Genkakuzai]

@Emaniac69 Unfortunately, I do not believe I am that person. I vaguely remember my Introduction to Counseling professor telling the class that statistic to write in our notes.

The book used in the course I took is called Introduction to Counseling: An Art and Science Perspective by Michael S. Nystul (4th Edition). The only information I could find (which doesn't have a statistic or percentage) pertaining to the importance of personality is as follows...

[Genkakuzai]

@Emaniac69 "As early as 1969, Combs et al. (1969) suggested that the central technique of counseling is to use the "self as an instrument" of change. In other words, counselors use their personality to create a presence that conveys encouragement for, belief in, and support of the client.

[Genkakuzai]

@Emaniac69 Rogers (1981) also commented on the importance of the counselor's personal qualities. He noted that the client's perception of the counselor's attitude is more important than the counselor's theories and methods. Rogers's point underscores the fact that clients are interested in and influenced by the personal style of the counselor."

[elewis525]

He points out something very interesting when he talks about a prescription for life...and how he feels that is such an issue since there isn't one..especially using psychological test...

[josieshaw1974]

What a complete star, thanks Carl :-)

[meekkrtn]

I would say that I love Carl Rogers however, that does not indicate the why. This man, despite the ongoing direction of his contemporaries, had little interest in promoting his personal ideals. Of course, he hoped to attain a degree of knowledge that would benefit mankind but he was interested in finding the right answer to HELP PEOPLE more than making his position in the hierarchy of humanity. He, above all of his aims in life, aspired to actually HELP his own patients or should I say, clients.

[LightningWolfang]

I love Carl Rogers XD hehe, I like his way of thinking, and his past seemed interesting, how the events in his time caused him to become the awesome psicologist he was :p

Why would people like Sigmund Freud more when Carl Rogers kicks butt, lol XD

[mrfreudable]

@LightningWolfang Because Freud brought more interesting ideas to the table.

[gaiaburzul]

Carl Rogers is the Love :3

[1sunflowergirl]

Thats a great guy there, i wish he was back,

[01waterlilly]

Therapy laid bare

[CarlRogersMusic]

Thank you ppl who say they love Carl Rogers XD

[FeroxX]

jews are pink

[Trollhammara]

@FeroxX of course they are :D

[brainbid]

I think that one of his strengths was his tone of voice, just the way it sounds seems comforting.

[seekyefirst]

He done a great job

[Noopypoop12]

I ALSO LOVE CARL ROGERS

[xxjadednowxx]

I LOVE CARL ROGERS

[Nanaki86x]

very good to see this again. the Gloria session is remarkable in several ways, not least because she was so much a person of her times, wrestling with the social changes of the 60's. when watching this its worth reminding oneself that nobody had really looked at the therapeutic relationship in this way before, and no matter what flaws one can see in his approach, this was revolutionary and ground-breaking stuff and required enormous courage from both Rogers and Gloria.

[MazzingerZ7]

I admire Carl Rogers more than Freud or Jung or the other big shots in psychology, because he really was much more concerned about people instead of feeding his ego.

[southernfriedbeans]

Hooray for Unconditional Positive Regard!

=P

[yamuvah]

What an exceptional human being.

[dalemano]

to nadsab1. Pleaseeeeee stop your tantrum. You are truly unbearable!!! Your problem with your therapist is yours. Deal with it. But you seem to enjoy in a sick way to tell the entire world - via you tube that you are this big victim. This issue is irrelevant to others . I suggest you get back in therapy and get treatment for your anger.

[nadsab1]

As a side note, I have always found it interesting that often harmed clients of quack shrinks are blamed for therapist-inflicted psychological damage or harm. It's called counter-transference, and most shrinks are in denial about it and often blame the client's parents for their own mental distress. Many therapists can't face their own mental illness which spills over into the therapeutic relationship, so they blame the client due to their lack of therapeutic sense of self.

[sockaburra]

to nadsab1. what did your therapists do to you to make you so angry?

[Biscuit213]

Yes, I agree that it is very difficult to trust again once you had your trust violated in such a profound way by someone who is in a position of such importance and power.

[dalemano]

Message to nadsab1. Sorry to say this, but you sound very very disturbed,how does anyone know you did not damage your therapist. I mean you have a rage problem that started with your parents not your therapist.

[nadsab1]

Actually, no, not rage - disappointment. Disappointment which started with two quack shrinks violating professional codes of ethics, and disappointment with the state licensing board allowing them to get away with it. It's pretty simple. I just expected therapists to behave professionally and ethics to be enforced. I guess I was just asking for too much as a client.

[Cashback13]

Anyone know when this interview was from? and what the program was?

[bionicbongsmoker]

Carl Rogers, a great psychologist and a fantastic human being. Thanks for the upload!

[tefisher1984]

Happy belated 107th birthday Carl Rogers!

[philfreud]

where could i find the rest of this video please.

[herdondoozer]

Wow nadsab so now we are getting somewhere. Nothing like blaming 1 bad therapist on the lot of us. Yes the system may be broken but so are alot of other systems banking, government. The way around this is finding a therapist who truly cares, sounds to me that you had a rotten apple. To say they ruined your life is a harsh statement, I mean look at all the things that you have in your life namely internet access thats a nice luxury enjoy it.

[nadsab1]

"Yes the system may be broken..." The way around this is finding a therapist who truly cares

If system is broke, & shrinks even good ones, dont think its important enough to fix their system & weed out rotten apples, why should I gamble & spend over a hundred bucks an hour, money I dont even have, on someone who may or may not behave ethically? Especially since I wont know if the shrink is a quack long after the damage is done?  Its pointless, mental health professions are a mess.

[dalemano]

who says that the system is broken? Millions of people worlwide derive enourmous benefit from caring, professionally trained mental health professionals who help individuals cope with life's problems

[nadsab1]

I do. It's broke, because the oversight is phoney, provides a false sense of security, enforcement is composed of spineless industry puppets whose only interest is in protecting the profession, not clients harmed by lying, hurtful, manipulator narcissistic money grubbing scum sucking quacks.

[nadsab1]

It's not "1 bad therapist". It's one bad therapist protected by corrupt licensing boards which care only about protecting the reputation of the profession, not about protecting clients of quacks. Were the profession an honest one, it would be well regulated by it's members.

Since "one bad therapist" can get away with fraud and ethical mis deeds, without being punished (which is what I was told by the board happens all the time), one assumes that the entire profession is completely corrupt.

[nadsab1]

In a way, one could say the psychotherapy industry is a Ponzi scheme similar to Bernard Madoffs.

The psychotherapy industry has almost no transparency meaning ethical complaints & findings among professional organizations & licensing boards are not released to the public. You have people charging lots of money with no guaranteed results. You have little ethical enforcement of corrupt shrinks, and a pyramidal-type building of client base with feeder universities charging students big $.

[nadsab1]

Isnt it interesting watching these psychotherapy groupie shrinks hang on every word of this messiah shrink? They worship him like a cult god. He no doubt is the psychotherapy messiah. All hail to the one great shrink!

[JosephOD]

What's your deal? You go around hating on all the psych videos. How could you hate Rogers? He was probably one of the kindest and most compassionate men ever. What are you, a scientologist?

[nadsab1]

No, I am a former client of a so called - "Humanistic therapist" social worker, who ruined my life and violated dozens of ethics codes.

I see no difference between Scientologist and quack shrinks, they all are a bunch of money grubbing frauds.

Humanistic psychotherapy would be fine, IF licensing boards truly enforced ethics codes of shrinks. Because they are rarely enforce, most shrinks are quacks by design of the boards.

[JosephOD]

It doesn't logically follow that all psychologists are bad just because you had a bad experience. Rogers promotes compassion, personal responsibility and growth. Your obsessed with your own pain and your making everyone else deal with it. The problem is with you and your anger, not psychology.

[nadsab1]

Sure there is logic behind it, according to the psychotherapy licensing board in my state. When I filed a complaint many years ago, the state investigator told me in no uncertain terms that psychotherapists get away with violating ethics repeatedly, with many, many clients, and that there is little if anything that the state can do about most ethics violations, and that I should forget about my complaint and drop it.

[nadsab1]

Let me put it to you another way.

If Bernard Madoff, a highly respected financial adviser for many, many decades, can get away with stealing 50 billion dollars from right under the noses of the SEC with a Ponzi scheme, then the psychotherapy industry can EASILY get away with having their licensed practitioners violate ethics codes, with no re percussions from their state licensing boards.

[nadsab1]

People who make money, protect others who make money, at the expense of the economically dis advantaged who have no voice. Clients of shrinks have little or no voice in state regulation, compared to psychotherapists, who are generally well connected and their professional organizations hire high paid lobbyists to write regulation

[nadsab1]

What I am saying, is that the APA, the NASW and other organizations have rigged the regulatory system and ethical enforcement, AGAINST harmed clients, and in FAVOR of corrupt shrinks who harm clients. I am saying, that the regulatory system of ethical enforcement for psychotherapists is BROKEN. And until it is FIXED, no one should trust it.

Its not a matter of anger, it is a matter of fact. Shrinks are in denial about their broken industry. In the same way the financial sector is broken.

[gregingram1970]

This is more of an intellectual spar than making any worthwhile points here. I am studying counselling at the minute, and if im honest, id describe my main two lecturers as nothing short of evil and sinister. Definatley people id feel secure to comfort in if I had to go to them for counselling. BUT i guess maybe and its just a maybe that they all aint tainted with the dark side of life.

[nadsab1]

Theoretically & personally I have nothing against Rogers. I believe him to have been a well intentioned, humane psychologist.

The problem I have in general with the psychotherapy industry, is that this is not a perfect world; in reality I believe most therapists are in it for $ and dont care about ethics & know they likely will never get caught even if they do reprehensible things to clients.

Even if well intentioned, remember the saying The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

[mijailgolovchenko]

We want more! We want more! We want more! We want more!

Thank you for posting....please post the rest.

[nadsab1]

Carl Rogers had unconditional positive regard. For one's wallet.

[dalemano]

You are a sick dud
