Carl Rogers citations

Carl Ransom Rogers, né le 8 janvier 1902 à Oak Park et mort le 4 février 1987 à La Jolla , est un psychologue humaniste américain.

Il a principalement œuvré dans les champs de la psychologie clinique, de la psychothérapie, de la relation d'aide , de la médiation et de l'éducation.

Sa méthode met l'accent sur la qualité de la relation entre le thérapeute et le patient . Cette approche a été introduite en France sous l'appellation de méthode non-directive dans les années 1950, mais Carl Rogers l'avait déjà dénommée psychothérapie centrée sur le client puis approche centrée sur la personne .

Une étude publiée en 2002 dans la Review of General Psychology a classé Carl Rogers comme le 6ème psychologue le plus important du XXe siècle. Wikipedia

Carl Rogers: Citations en anglais

“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be… When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner"… I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten. I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy. It is as though he were saying, "Thank God, somebody heard me. Someone knows what it's like to be me”

“If I let myself really understand another person, I might be changed by that understanding. And we all fear change. So as I say, it is not an easy thing to permit oneself to understand an individual”

“Experience is, for me, the highest authority. The touchstone of validity is my own experience. No other person's ideas, and none of my own ideas, are as authoritative as my experience. It is to experience that I must return again and again, to discover a closer approximation to truth as it is in the process of becoming in me. Neither the Bible nor the prophets -- neither Freud nor research -- neither the revelations of God nor man -- can take precedence over my own direct experience. My experience is not authoritative because it is infallible. It is the basis of authority because it can always be checked in new primary ways. In this way its frequent error or fallibility is always open to correction.”

“Managers today come up against a few more communication barriers. One is the pressure of time. Listening carefully takes time, and managers have little of that to spare. In today’s business culture especially, with its emphasis on speed, already pressed managers may give short shrift to the slower art of one-on-one communication.”

“I have gradually come to one negative conclusion about the good life. It seems to me that the good life is not any fixed state. It is not, in my estimation, a state of virtue, or contentment, or nirvana, or happiness. It is not a condition in which the individual is adjusted or fulfilled or actualized. To use psychological terms, it is not a state of drive-reduction, or tension-reduction, or homeostasis”
