	Peter F. Schmid, Person-Centred Psychotherapy - Essentials and distinctions
		This includes how the person came to be who they are through relationships, what he or she is at the present time, and how the person is able to develop further in the future.
		This encounter of another person is a form of relationship characterised by the fundamental and unequivocal respect held by the therapist.
		Personality development and integration bring about an increasing capability to fully live in the moment; to have a less distorted, less defensive and more comprehensive self-image (adequately perceiving both the phenomena of experience and changes in experience), and to live in relationships more realistically.

		This way the person is able to use the therapy as a way to reach a better sense of self, rather than living in an irrational world.
		PCT is predominantly used by psychologists and counsellors in psychotherapy.

	Peter F. Schmid, Person-Centred Psychotherapy
		His central thesis was that psychotherapy should not aim at solving problems but at personality development with the therapist being the facilitator of the client’s development instead of being an interpreting expert on psychological problems.
		The image of the human being underlying this understanding of psychotherapy, based as it is on the view of men and women as persons, suggests the dialectics of autonomy and interconnectedness, sovereignty and solidarity.
		This is facilitated by the therapist’s readiness to enter a relationship person to person and his or her im-media-te presence in this encounter relationship, which means ‘to be with’ the client in an authentic, acknowledging and empathic way.

		Effective psychotherapy is primarily predicated upon (1) the relationship between the therapist and the client and (2) the inner and external resources of the client.
		His statement concerning the necessary and sufficient conditions of therapeutic personality change is an integrative statement for psychotherapy and helping relationships that is separate from his statement (Rogers, 1959) concerning the conditions as part of client-centered therapy (Stubbs and Bozarth, 1996; see earlier chapter on The Integrative Statement).
		The most clear research evidence is that effective psychotherapy results from the resources of the client (extratherapeutic variables) and from the person to person relationship of the therapist and client.

		It is partly allowing the person the freedom to find his or her own ways of dealing with their problems by being in and accepting the client’s perception of the world; hence, creating an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard.
		In the context of person-centered theory, it is creating an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard that enables the person to develop unconditional positive self-regard and, subsequently, to resolve his or her specific problems.
		Rogers, in his classic delineation of a theory of psychotherapy, personality and interpersonal relationships imn 1959, hypothesized that in the psychotherapeutic relationship that the more fully and consistently the therapeutic attitudes are provided by the therapist and perceived by the client, the greater the constructive movement that will occur in the client.

	Person-Centred Counselling
		Psychological disturbance occurs when the individual's 'self-concept' begins to clash with immediate personal experience -- i.e., when the evidence of the individual's own senses or the individual's own judgement clashes with what the self-concept says 'ought' to be the case.
		Unfortunately, disturbance is apt to continue as long as the individual depends on the conditionally positive judgements of others for their sense of self-worth and as long as the individual relies on a self-concept designed in part to earn those positive judgements.
		Clients who have a strong urge in the direction of exploring themselves and their feelings and who value personal responsibility may be particularly attracted to the person-centred approach.

	Humanistic Person Centred Counselling in Edinburgh.
		In the author's opinion, person centred counselling is effective in assisting those clients who are already fairly self-aware, and have some ability to verbalise their feelings.
		In person centred counselling, the overall guiding principle for the therapist is "you have one mouth and two ears, use them in that proportion".
		That way if person centred counselling is not for them, or indeed if their needs change during the healing process, the therapist is equipped to adapt to their needs.

	Peter F. Schmid, Person-Centred Therapy - A European Perspective
		Whoever subscribes to a Person–Centred Approach, however, is convinced of and thus has faith in the fact that every human being possesses the capacity to shape his or her own life and that the main objective of every form of aid should be to support this capacity, that is to promote man's freedom and autonomy.
		If in a helping relationship the other human being is considered as a person and not as an object which has to be treated or guided, then as a matter of principle there can be no way of instrumentalizing him or her.
		Accordingly the ultimate aim is a ‘personal encounter’ — which is the form of relationship that shows this personal quality, in which there is an immediate communication person–to–person.

		Briefly, as persons are accepted and prized, they tend to develop a more caring attitude toward themselves.

	Counselling, Psychotherapy & Mental Health Bibliography -- Part Four
		(1990) Client-Centered and Experiential Psychotherapy in the Nineties.
		This short chapter argues that, at least in person-centred counselling training, personal therapy is no substitute for personal development; Mearns strongly warns against the notion that simply undergoing a period (even several years) of personal therapy is in any way adequate for meeting the personal development needs of a person-centred counsellor.
		Covering the foundations of person-centred counselling, Rogers's philosophy of persons, the role of research, and implications for ordinary living, the book's greatest drawback is simply that it is necessarily chronologically limited and doesn't include any of Rogers's later work featured in newer monographs and edited collections.

		Psychotherapy requires a certain amount of curiosity and courage to open up to what is inside you.
		Transpersonal Psychotherapy can help clients in the same way as any other type of therapy, as it encompasses all the other types of therapy.
		The realm of the transpersonal defies an easy description because, to paraphrase John Rowan again it is not an ego function, and as ordinary language deals essentially with ego functions, it misses something essential about the transpersonal and hence falsifies it to some degree.
