He's an emotional vampire. She needed a solution and he didn't give her one. Ellis did.

[esherborne3]

in counselling the counsellor DOES not give the client solutions... The Client finds the solution themselves, especially the person centred approach........

[jguterman]

At about 7:11 Rogers states: "And like Gloria, I feel very real regret that the relationship cannot continue." But it did continue. Gloria stayed in touch by mail until she died in 1979. She also later wrote about the session

He simply helped me to recognize my own potential--my value as a human being. (p. 141):

my thoughts exactly. this is why person centered therapy is critisized for being appropriate mainly for highly intelligent, verbal and introspective clients. this method will not work on most severe mental illnesses or unmotivated clients. still Rogers is very empathic and this is a very important factor to any theraputic session.

Carl Rogers pwns all!

I'll have to watch the Ellis video again -I couldn't keep up with his seemingly forceful and quick-paced technique; but it looked like Gloria was responding to him well. Perls was both amusing and thought-provoking, butI felt that he only ended up proving what I already knew: people who receive negative stimuli will close off, exhibiting fear, anger and sometimes laugh nervously. Gloria may have learned more about her defense mechanisms, but I couldn't see much else coming from that session.

@FifiLB1 Thank you for pointing out the other videos, I wouldn't have known to search them if it wasn't for your comment. They were fascinating!

[TurquoiseLamp]

Thank you for these videos. I'm just about to begin a Counselling course, so these videos really help me see the different techniques used. I felt very connected with Rogers' approach. From my perspective, I thought his 'mirroring' quality was very interesting. Perhaps this is a biased view, because I have been on the receiving end of this technique and felt it helped a great deal. At times I was frustrated at not getting direct answers, but overall I gained more inner clarity.

@esherborne3 yes, if the counselor were to give the client solutions, it would foster dependency, that the only way the client can solve their problems is by coming to the counselor. Also any advice/solutions the counselor gives to the client would obviously not come from the client, and would therefore not take into consideration the subconscious feelings the client has, then when that solution/advice flops, the client would blame the counselor, which would damage the therapeutic relationship.

[corradi3]

I know Rogers is good, but I still think that client was an easy one. I wish I could see him counselling some troll who doesn't give a s#$@ about anything and hate the world. I'm curious to see how he would act on that case.

[BigBrauner]

A lovely piece of counseling, but I don't agree with the sentiment expressed by many that seem to imply that Rogers was doing something that no one else can do. He was in many ways first, but others -- you and I -- can and should learn to use active listening, permit our compassionate selves to show but not predominate, and be present in the moment. Easy? No. But we can do this, in or out of therapy.
