HUMANISTIC APPROACHES
1. Explain Rogers’ person-centered approach and his concept of unconditional positive regard. How is this approach different from other humanistic approaches? Compare Roger’s approach to a different approach you have studied earlier in the course.
2. Explain each level of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Describe the importance of each need. Explain a situation in which an individual might work towards a higher need even if the lower ones are not met yet. How might you use this information when you develop goals with clients?
INFLUENCES
