Introduction

Choosing the right and effective treatment plan for the client is very important. It is the responsibility of the consultant for them. The consultant should use all clients presenting the problem. There are many treatment plans and theories developed throughout the history of psychology. These theories and strategies will help consultants relate to their clients. This document describes the idea of the theory of personality-oriented therapy and its application to the client’s treatment plan.

Conceptualizing Cases Using Person-Centered Therapy

Carl Rogers is known as the founder of people-centered therapy. Rogers grew up in a strict Christian home. (Jones & Butman, 2011). At age 12, his family moved to the farm. The Roger family worked hard and became interested in agriculture. He went to college and majored in agriculture for two years. Rogers became interested in psychology after studying at Columbia University. (C.R. Rogers, 1961). After changing degrees, Rogers began working in the world of psychology. He did some work before starting to work on his theory. Rogers was one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century.

Rogers agreed with Abraham Maslow’s theory and was a humanistic psychologist. He believed that people should grow up in an environment that provided them. Rogers focused on self-realization. “Organisms have one fundamental tendency, and we seek to recognize, maintain, and improve the beings we experience” (Rogers, 1951, p. 487). Rogers believed in a self-sufficient person. Everyone can grow, change, and achieve.

Carl Ransom Rogers (1902-1987) was one of the leading psychotherapists in 40 years of history. He is known for his work as the author of 16 books, 200 articles, and millions of copies worldwide. He was the founder of human-centered therapy that extended to all counselors and supported professionals and students. Jones and Butman (2011) describe human-oriented therapy as the basis of phenomenology. Carl Rogers requires authenticity (openness and self-disclosure), acceptance (found in an unconditional positive look), and empathy (heard and understood) for a person to truly grow. He was a humanist psychologist who believed that His point of view contrasted with psychodynamic and behavioral approaches, since an analysis of his understanding of the unconscious and other diagnoses compared to other diagnoses suggests that the client can be helped better. According to Rogers, “the basic nature of man with free functioning is constructive and reliable” (Murdock, 2009). Rogers believed that everyone could achieve goals, desires, and dreams of life. According to Jones and Butman (2011, p. 268), Rogers argues that “unity, empathy, and unconditional willingness fully trust the biological assessment process and provide greater self-realization and core work for the therapist. Provide a safe and secure environment that encourages customers to reintegrate their means of self-realization and self-esteem. ”

It took Rogers over 40 years to develop a cure. He experienced several name changes before deciding on a person-oriented therapy. This treatment has undergone several extensive studies. Several studies have agreed that it is useful for Rogers to gain an unconditional positive outlook and empathic understanding. However, these studies also showed that not all customers should show changes. Roger’s theory may not be sufficient enough. There is judgment in his practice, but if you focus on judgment rather than theory, you focus on the wrong.

In 2013, the Fourth World Conference on Psychology, Counseling, and Guidance (WCPCG) took part in a study of 55 unmarried teenage girls who became pregnant. The test was to show the effectiveness of Rogers’ self-esteem, as well as depression and resistance. Teenagers were treated weekly for seven weeks. The results show that “person-centered group counseling can improve self-esteem, reduce depression, and increase the resilience of unmarried pregnant teens. (1940, 1961), which states that if the psychological situation is timely, individuals should change when self-esteem changes.

Since the questions presented are egocentric, personality-oriented therapy is suitable for my client. Customers have many problems because of self-realization. Clients should help increase self-esteem and reduce depression. This is an ideal theory for treatment planning and treatment of clients. There should be no ethical issues that arise when a client uses a person-oriented theory. There are no multicultural problems that occur when using a person-centered theory. The client uses the past and his environment to help grow. There are no problems with multiculturalism.

Human-oriented therapy can be used in critical situations. Human-oriented therapy is a very safe therapy. It can be used to empower, promote, and influence customers: client focus shift and client control. The client controls the pace and manages the process. This treatment can help clients stop focusing on the past and stop worrying too much about the future.

Person Center Therapy treats addicted clients. “Despite the fact that client-oriented therapists do not diagnose clients and do not directly address a specific disorder, it should be noted that this approach is still beneficial. This can lead to alcoholism, drug addiction, which is why it is often used as part of a more comprehensive program of inpatient or outpatient treatment for problems such as eating disorders (Addictions, 2015).

Rogers believed that everyone could achieve goals, desires, and dreams of life. According to Jones and Butman (2011, p. 268), Rogers states: “The will of unity, empathy, and unconditional positive will is completely dependent on the process of evaluating living things and is a key factor for greater self-realization and therapists. Encourage them to work.” Provide a safe and secure environment that encourages customers to reintegrate their processes of self-realization and self-esteem. “Human-oriented therapy works following three basic principles that reflect the therapist’s attitude towards the client. 1. The therapist is consistent with the client. 2. The therapist provides an unconditional positive attitude towards the client. 3. The therapist demonstrates a sensitive understanding of the client. Each is further described in this paper.

Intervention

Angela came to treatment for help on some issues in her life. Angela’s husband uses this to play professional football but was injured during the match. This completes his career. Angela knows that all family expenses must be handled. She owns a salon bought by her husband. Angela and her husband share the daughter of her husband from a previous relationship with two children. Angela’s husband began to deceive her, working late in the salon to earn as much money as possible for his family. All these problems made Angela choose a drinking habit.

Angela was given three goals during a treatment planning session. My first goal was to spend time with my family away from work. Her children are neglected, and they need a lot of time with her mother. The second goal was to show her husband anxiety about cheating. Angela’s husband should know that she knows about his misconduct and must take measures to restore her marriage. The ultimate goal for Angela is to cope with her habits. She must admit that she has problems with drinking.

Congruence

Compatibility or congruence is Rogers’ most important attribute. The consultant will then build trust and ensure transparency. By doing this, the client is free to express their emotions and problems without judgment. At first, this is perfect for Angela and helps her plan her goals. Angela can express her feelings in everything that happened in her family. She can reach out to her children and take care of how depressed she is. Her second goal becomes much more comfortable when she begins to talk about her husband’s infidelity. This is the most challenging goal that Angela can face. She should tell her husband about his flirting, about how this is related to her depression, anxiety, and problems with alcohol. All these goals for her play with each other. Angela can use this for objective 3. She has to deal with the issue of drinking alcohol, and she may be puzzled by this. This opens the door to being true to yourself in a safe environment.

Unconditional positive points

This shows care and real attention to the client. The consultant cannot approve the words or actions of the client but accepts them. They are not there to make a decision. This condition helps Angela to tell her the most terrible thoughts and feelings, without condemning and not looking down. She can say some disgusting things about her husband’s business. Angela does not frown, expressing herself and the way cheaters made her feel. She is free to tell everything she wants to speak at the moment. Angela may want to shout or strike something. This technique allows her to do this and feel safe with it.

Empathy

It allows the consultant to understand how the client feels. Rogers states that “the impression is that the client’s world is his own, but without the” loss “of quality, this empathy is necessary for treatment.” (Rogers, 1957).

Spiritual Application (Phase 1)

In her case, there are no spiritual problems, since Angela has no issues with a spiritual application. Angela is not religious. She could not serve in the church for work. The Bible is a great way to begin a spiritual approach with Angela. She is already familiar, and it will be the open door that she needs.

Some of the positive aspects of Rogers’ theory include “his assertion about understanding a person in a holistic, rather than foggy, restorative way” (Lamberton, 1993). His emphasis is on the ability to grow and grow, awareness and understanding of people’s emotions and internal conflicts, as well as on his faith that everyone can grow in their way. Besides, his only contribution to understanding the dynamics and power of empathic listening, as well as his emphasis on the growth that occurs when people have an honest, open, and unconditionally positive relationship, many deserve praise.

The first person-oriented treatment is for counselors to receive clients without judgment. In the eyes of God, we are equal, He loves us all, and we must love all his creations. God, the Creator, has the right to judge us and not judge others.

The second way to ensure compatibility of a person-centered treatment is the ability to provide unconditional support regardless of the situation or problem of the client. As a consultant using face-to-face intensive care, the key to a successful recovery is through support and full understanding. As any Christian believes, we must support those who follow our path at the right level.

A third way that a person-centered treatment is compatible is through communication. Choosing a counselor is the ability to hear and feel compassion and communication skills. Psalm 37:30 (ESV) “The mouth of the righteous speaks of wisdom, his tongue speaks of justice.” Communication and understanding are the only ways consultants can succeed in helping. There is nobody around, especially a client like candy, so she understands what she and her family are going through.

The compatibilities

The first compatibility with Christianity is Christian love. A personal therapy center expresses Christian love. The same love that God calls for Christians, true love. Roger’s underlying condition is unconditional positive respect and empathy, which is an excellent example of this Christian love. The second compatibility with Christianity is that personality-oriented therapy is focused on clients, not on problems. Jesus saw the hearts of people, but not their actions. He knew their kind, even if they themselves did not know good. This is similar to the interaction between the therapist and the client when using human-oriented therapy. The ultimate compatibility with Christianity is “an emphasis on the immediacy of the present existential moment” (Jones & Butman, 2011, p. 282). Personalized therapy is aimed at improving the current situation of the client, letting him know that he needs to let go of the past. Jones and Butman (2011) agree that Christians rely on God as their “daily bread.” This allows them to focus on the present.

Incompatibilities

The first incompatibility with Christianity is a human-centered remedy, and some of us believe that we can control our faith (Jones & Butman, 2011). This is incompatible because God rules our faith and God’s rules. The second incompatibility with Christianity is that human-centered therapy recognizes our own truth (Jones & Butman, 2011). “Self-realization trends are in tune with the biological assessment process, feel good and recognize that their decisions are correct,” (Jones & Butman, 2011, p. 272). Christianity emphasizes that revelation is true. People cannot go their way and sin is woven into human nature. The last incompatibility with Christianity is that human-centered treatment does not recognize evil or sin (Jones & Butman, 2011). Rogers should have shown people good. Christians have acknowledged that people are guilty (Jones & Butman, 2011). Another way in which a person-oriented conversion is incompatible with Christian conversion is personal responsibility and freedom. Christians firmly believe that we are not only responsible for our choice, but also have the influence of others. Rogers’ person-centered approach does not believe in this but refers only to individual responsibility for life.

Conclusion

A personality-oriented theory provides professional counselors with theoretical guidance on how to connect clients to a therapeutic relationship. There are some differences between the Christian point of view and this approach, but there are ample reasons for using the client in practice. Roger has a bright and positive outlook on people-centered therapy (Murdock, 2013). Angela can overcome all her problems using personality-oriented therapy. Roger’s theory focuses on the present, and Angela has a bright future. “Individuals have many resources to understand themselves, change attitudes, and use these resources if there is a transparent psychological culture. In the case of Angela, Roger’s therapy is considered auspicious. She can turn into the consequences of events in her professional and personal life. This is the ultimate goal of her counseling treatment, which should be harmless to the client and positive changes that indicate personal growth and achievements.
