Focus of Humanistic Psychotherapy

Very Hard Unit 13: Treatment Of Disorders Psychotherapy

In the context of psychotherapy, several theoretical frameworks guide the treatment of mental health disorders. Among these, two influential methods are the psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. The psychodynamic approach, developed from the work of Freud, emphasizes the unconscious mind and the importance of childhood experiences in shaping behavior. In contrast, the humanistic approach, pioneered by psychologists like Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, emphasizes personal growth and the innate goodness of individuals, focusing on the present rather than the past.

Given these differing perspectives, what would most likely be an integral focus of a humanistic psychotherapist when working with clients?
