Certificate in Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers is an important figure in the development of the "new" psychology focusing on the self-resourceful individual, and has had tremendous influence on the development of counselling, psychotherapy and personal communication skills as well as on educational philosophy. Many new styles of "humanistic" counselling and therapy owe their debt to Rogers, who made popular the concepts of "“nondirective”, “client-centered” or “person-centered” helping skills.

This certificate course comprises studies of a representative selection of the written works of Carl Rogers, including the following:

Fascinating autobiographical material,
The nature of therapeutic relationship,
The concept of the person,
Theory and scientific research,
Rogers' view of education,
The nature of the helping professions
Rogers and social psychology.
