6. Dedicated himself to humanistic psychology Well known for his theory of personality development( discovered because angry with therapists) Started as “nondirective therapy” became so popular became known as “client-centered” due to its expansion to education, marriage, leadership, parent-child relationships, and etc. This type of therapy “Basically suggested that the client by establishing a relationship with an understanding, accepting therapist, can resolve difficulties and gain an insight necessary to restructure their life.” Theory

7. Learner- centered education 1.Person can’t teach another person directly, can only facilitate another persons learning 2. A person learns significantly only those things that are perceived as being involved in the maintenance of or enhancement of the structure of self 3. Experience which, if assimilated, would involve a change in the organization of self, tends to be resisted through denial or distortion of symbolism 4. The structure and organization of self appears to become more rigid under threats and to relax its boundaries when completely free from threat 5. The educational situation which most effectively promotes significant learning is one in which (a) threat to the self of the learner is reduced to a minimum and (b) differentiated perception of the field is facilitated ”
