| | Present Centred Awareness - A Path to Psychological Freedom |
| | Psychotherapy is essentially a process designed to alleviate mental distress by initiating psychological change in a manner which is both personally meaningful and socially constructive (Muzika, 1990). | | | At the personal level, where individuals need direction and sense of meaning, Gestalt or Existential therapies may prove to be the appropriate vehicles. | | | Most Western psychotherapies are directed at the personality and usually work at strengthening the self to make it more able to bear pain and to experience pleasure (Muzika, 1990). |

| | What is the Person-Centred Approach? |
| | An important part of Rogers' theory is that in a particular psychological environment, the fulfilment of personal potentials includes sociability, the need to be with other human beings and a desire to know and be known by other people. | | | Although initially developed as an approach to psychotherapy (eventually becoming known as client/person-centred therapy/counselling), Rogers and his colleagues came to believe that their ideas could be transferred to other areas where people were in relationships: for example, teaching, management, childcare, patient care, and conflict resolution. | | | This environment could be achieved when being in a relationship with a person who was deeply understanding (empathic), accepting (having unconditional positive regard) and genuine (congruent). |

| | Family counselling - keeping the focus positive |
| | A plethora of counselling approaches have been developed in the last fifty years or so, spawned largely from the emergence of the psychological sciences in the 19th century. | | | The focus of psychology, social work, psychotherapy or counselling then, has traditionally been one of working with clients' problems and on problem-solving as a hallmark of professional expertise, and in challenging clients to learn to self-disclose, and to recognise and name their dysfunction, and then perhaps, to commit to change. | | | Many clients come along expecting the focus of counselling work to be problem focused, and the worker may also need to engage the client in a gradual educational process before clients can begin to focus on their own strengths. |
