Client Centered therapy
Mas applicable if pc theory and therapy naman

HUMANISTIC AND EXISTENTIAL THEORIES
Bc erich fromm and rollo may were somehow
related to each other. Existential theory and
existential psychology.
Rollo may – seldom covered in undergrad. Hindi
siya gaanong nadidiscuss. Need to know the
basic tenets.
Very important with the difference. Despite in
practice, most theoriest gumagamit ng
humanistic and existential theories ay
gumagamit.
Palagi siya magkasama dinidiscuss pero
magkaiba sila. Therapeutic technique ng
existential
Humanism – forefront is Maslow and Rogers.
Parang dalawa lang pinanggalingan or
forefathers. Carl rogers and Abraham maslow.
School of Existentialism – school of psych with a
lot of contributors, hindi katulad ng humanism.
A lot of names associated with this.
_____________________________
Humanism – ITP, one of the schools of
psychology. Third force in Psychology.
First force – psychoanalysis. Sigmund freud. W
the theory of Sigmund freud - Sex aggression
theory, maraming criticisms and ‘yung kaniyang
unconscious.
Second is behaviorism. Very critical abt the
existence of the unconscious. More objective,
everything is learned and everything can be
observed. We can test for the existence of
something. Heavy on empiricism - Kumbaga
dapat evidence based. Even in therapy,
behaviorists are relying on techniques that are
proven by research already. Ex. Systematic
desensitization, blotting.. pero those techniques
na ineemploy nila during psychotherapy ay
evidence based.
In response to that…
Humanism – saw behavioral models models as
mechanical and overly objective. Lacking
understanding for the depth of human exp,
consciousness and personality dev. Focus on
freedom. Capacity to choose behavior
Psychoanalysis – all of our behavior can be
traced by our unconscious. Lahat ng beahvior
natin natutunan – behaviorism. Sinasabi naman
ng humanism, masyado niyo naman
tinatanggalan ng tao ‘yung capacity to choose.
‘yung behavior ng isang tao conscious na
pinapipili. Gusto niyang gawin.
Saw psychodynamic and analytic – cold, distant
and overly deterministic – nega early childhood
exp already defines the progress in ther life.
Adult personality sa kaniyang buhay.
Sabi ng humanism, pwede mamili ang tao kung
ano ang bagay na makakaapekto sa kaniya or
hindi. Pwedeng mamili ang tao ng behavior. May
capacity na despite ng neg exp, pwede pa rin
siyang maging psychologically healthy. They
have the capacity to do that.
Osycho and analytic – focused on pathology.
Behaviorism -diagnosis. Ano ‘yung mga proven
na gawin?
