Congruent Functioning - Exploring the relevance of congruent functioning for our clients and ourselves

In this workshop we will discuss and explore congruent functioning, a proposed model of change that is a reframing of Rogers' concept of the fully functioning person. This model is based on empirical research that I carried out at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland) with data collected using the Strathclyde Inventory, a self-report measure of therapeutic outcome. We will consider if this model of change resonates with our experiences of client work (do we see our clients changing in this way?) and whether our clients describe change of this nature as meaningful for them. We will also reflect on the relevance of congruent functioning for ourselves as persons and as person-centred therapists. This workshop will offer a combination of presentations, discussion in large and smaller groups, and reflective/experiential exercises.

The workshop will be held in English.
