Person-Centered Psychotherapy as a Modern System of Meaning / Personzentrierte Psychotherapie als ein modernes Sinnsystem / La psicoterapia centrada en la personas como un sistema moderno de significado

Abstract

Person-centered psychotherapy is viewed as a modern system of meaning. It is shown that this perspective is completely in line with Rogers' own view of his approach. During his development he increasingly emphasized that he had come upon a philosophy of living, rather than upon a psychotherapeutic technique. It is suggested that, currently, such a view might be of special importance for the future of person-centered psychotherapy, as its existence is threatened worldwide. Some of the consequences of this view of person-centered psychotherapy are discussed, such as its relation to science, its relation to religion or spirituality and its future position in the mental health care system.
