Discussion:
Freudian Psychoanalysis & Rogers' Person-Centered Theory
Short Answer: Compare Freudian Psychoanalysis with Carl Rogers' Person-Centered Therapy.
1. Since in both of these types of therapies the counselor takes a more passive role, how can it be determined if the client is well enough to terminate therapy?
2. If the client is the "expert" (in person-centered therapy), why should they come to a therapist (you) for help?
3. Can the interpretation of dreams really assist someone to get better?
4. How important is "catharsis" to healing?
