Client-centered therapy, a humanistic method developed by Carl Rogers, is based on the idea that all people have the innate capacity to develop into positive, healthy beings. What does this model attribute pathology and behavioral problems to?
  1. Negative environmental circumstances
  2. Lack of opportunity to learn positive traits
  3. Incongruence between true feelings and experience
  4. Incongruence between true feelings and the external world
Explanation
Answer: C - This therapy model assumes that pathology and problems are the result of incongruence between the self-one’s true feelings-and experience, defined as the ability to be aware of and express those feelings. Client-centered therapy focuses on the internal processes of the individual rather than environmental factors that shape those processes.
