Just wanted to share with everybody my final thoughts on this class and the theorist I wrote my paper about. The theorist I had was Carl Rogers. the basics of his theory are that we are all naturally good people. As good people, we want to make the best of ourselves and develop a good healthy life. His client centered theory involved a humanistic approach in which he created a support role to the patient so that the patient could develop their process for recovery. The patient has all the tools within them to overcome any problem and is to be guided to that solution. In regards to being a "good" person, it all stems from the experiences that start as young children.
It was a bit confusing at first, but, after reading over it began to make sense. He also had a very interesting point in that he compared this desire to be the best we can to other biological entities, such as plants and animals. It was great reading about it all.
