Who proposed ‘Client Centered Therapy’?

 The person who proposed client-centered therapy was Carl Rogers. He was an American psychologist who is considered one of the founders of humanistic psychology. Rogers developed client-centered therapy in the 1940s as a reaction to the more traditional psychodynamic therapies of that time.

Client-centered therapy is a non-directive form of therapy that focuses on the client's own self-exploration and growth. The therapist's role is to provide a safe and supportive environment where the client can feel free to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The therapist does not give advice or interpretations, but rather seeks to understand the client's perspective and to help them to clarify their own thoughts and feelings.

Client-centered therapy is based on the belief that people have an innate tendency towards growth and self-actualization. Rogers argued that if people are given a supportive environment, they will be able to resolve their own problems and achieve their full potential.
