What is it about?
Carl Rogers warned his graduate students about the challenges and threats to the practice of person-centered and experiential (PCE) therapies. While he continues to be influential, PCE is marginalized by the politics of evidence-based research, the dominance of assessment and diagnosis of psychopathology, and a misconstrual of PCE by other therapy models (notably person-centered care, a philosophical health movement that deploys, e.g., CBT, Motivational Interviewing and aspects of PCE that are misunderstood).

This article clarifies the core elements, and upholds the relevance, of PCE and distinguishes if from other therapies.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps psychotherapists, other health professionals, and possibly the lay person, to better understand and appreciate the importance of PCE.
