Rogers' Model of Personality Theory

Rogers' Model of Personality emphasizes that individuals have an innate tendency towards growth and self-actualization. It suggests that a healthy personality develops when there's consistency between one’s true self (how they see themselves) and their ideal self (how they wish to be). When these align, people feel authentic and fulfilled. Therapy, according to Rogers, helps create a supportive environment with genuine, unconditional positive regard, allowing individuals to explore their true feelings without judgment, fostering personal growth and internal harmony.
