Person Centered Expressive Therapy
Based on The Person Centered Approach which was developed by Carl Rogers, the concept Person Centered Expressive Therapy (PCET) was coined by Dr. Nathalie Rogers and myself in 1982. We initiated an institute providing brief programs, seminars and workshops in PCET, as well as a 2 year international program credited at California State University. PCET was considered by Rogers to be "…a new another off shoot of The Person Centered Approach."
Rogers work is today considered to be the most influential therapeutic approach of all time. The Person Centered Approach regards transparency, congruence and empathy as the necessary conditions for positive change of behaviour. While "Classical" Person Centered therapy focus on verbal communication in human relationships, PCET focus on creating new experiences, awareness and integration also through a broad spectrum of Person Centered Non-Verbal Modes of Communication.
