MEETING OF HUMANISTIC AND RELIGIOUS GOALS IN THEORY OF GROWTH ORIENTATION OF CARL ROGERS
Keywords:
CARL ROGERS, Humanism, Religion, Rogerian therapy, ConsciousnessAbstract
It is natural for a humanist-existentialist and naturalist to assume the view that there is nothing seriously religious about the client-centred growth therapy of Carl Rogers (1902). Lack of a clearly articulated frame of reference for self-direction and the direction of others has been pointed out as one of the serious deficiencies of this system of growththerapy. This paper is an attempt to see how far Roger's certain humanistic and therapeutic motifs could equally be religious in their tenor and orientation. If the reign of the demonic spirit is expelled at the deepest layer of the whole man, achieving that layer is certainly the reinstatement of the kingdom of God
