Person Centered Theory was founded by American Carl R. Rogers. It is a talk therapy where the client does most of the talking to express exactly how they feel. It centers in a non-authoritative approach that allows the client to take control of discussions so that in the process they can find their own solutions.
According to Rogers the fully functioning person has to be...

"The organism has one basic tendency and striving - to actualize, maintain, and enhance the experiencing organism” (Rogers, 1951, p. 487).
Carl R. Rogers was born in Oak Park, Illinois. He lived in La Jolla, California to protestant parents and was the fourth out of six children. In 1924 he completed his undergraduate work at the University of Wisconsin and in 1928 took his doctoral degree in clinical and educational psychology at Teachers College, Columbia University. In 1930 he worked in human services for the state of New York. Later he became the director of Guidance Center at the University of Chicago.
As a child Roger's felt that he could not expose his world because he would be judge. In the 1940's Rogers deviated from traditional counseling and moved for a more therapeutic approach, then began clinical training which was warm and personal. His first therapy case was based on a mother who had been seen 4-5 times about her “troubled” child who began to talk to Rogers about her personal problems and made him change his work. That is where he became passionate about empathetic listening and understanding of the clients world (Good-Therapy 2007-20018).
According to Rogers “There must be a willingness to accept the child as he is, on his own level of adjustment, and to give him some freedom to work out his own solutions to his problems” (p. 282).

According to Rogers this process allows the client to really open up in a deeper level.
Therapist values the client and genuinely cares for them without judgement (McLeod, 2015).
According to Rogers the therapist must communicate back to the client that they understand how they feel by hearing and understanding their world (McLeod, 2015).

The therapist is a compassionate facilitator that listens without any judgment and restates the client’s words to fully understand thoughts and feelings. Therapist is there to encourage and support the client through the process of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and provides steps to healing and positive growth.
I focused on Roger’s Person Centered Therapy because it helps build stronger relationships and I feel it is the best therapy to gain the child’s trust. We work with kids that want to be loved and cared for. This therapy will allow us to create a free and more understanding environment with no judgment that will in return provide better results. PCT allows the students more opportunities to be open and expressive with their real feelings and allows them to think for themselves and become independent and create change. I currently work with adolescents and they just seem to want to be understood. Putting into practice empathetic listening and congruence will allow us to be “real” not “fake”. If we are genuine with our students, positive outcomes and good relationships will be the end result.
I selected Prezi because it is easy to view and present. It is similar to slides in google and has many options to work with.
