humanistic-and-behavioral-therapies
The Humanistic perspective emphasizes a person’s self-concept. For Humanists, disorders develop when the person’s self-concept becomes negative. Rogers felt that psychodynamic therapy was too formal and very detached, and so espoused a more humanistic approach. He thought that the client should be more involved with his/her therapy or client-centered.
The behaviorist perspective, on the other hand, believed that a person’s psychological problems were the result of learned behaviors. These therapists said that unhealthy learned behaviors can be unlearned. Naturally, these therapists employed classical and operant conditioning to help their client unlearn the unwanted behaviors.
