PCT:

Person-Centered Therapy

A therapy that emphasizes the client's capacity for self-direction.

Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), also known as Rogerian therapy, was developed by Carl Rogers. It emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the client's capacity for self-direction and self-actualization. PCT provides a supportive and non-judgmental environment, allowing clients to explore their feelings and experiences. The therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence to facilitate personal growth.
