person centred therapies

After having reread 'postmodern collaborative and person centred therapies what would Carl Rogers say?' I am more and more pushed to his way of thinking. As counsellors in my opinion well to copy rogers, that is, it is important for us to ' free the individuals to find their inner wisdom and confidence, and they will make increasingly healthier and more constructive choices. Human beings are subjective and even these days too often a government society or learning system tries to put people into boxes to define and therefore presume to help them. I have been thinking how important it is for us to meet with clients over a very long period in order for us to work with them to progress. ' postmodern' invites us to an ongoing sceptical attitude towards the nature and meaning of knowledge. Including its certainty and power'. this is from p.344 of the article. We should always remember we won't know it all! I hope this gets posted my last tries didnt seem to work Lord jurg.

I have just finished rereading Ivan Illich's chapter entitled "Disabling Professions". Wow it is possibly the most well written and extensive piece of work that uses informed criticism to fully show that the way we live now in society is pretty much entirely as a consequence of a mafia style. With doctors teachers lawyers judges mass producers and many more have caused what Illich describes when he defines gangsters : " But gangsters. for their own profit, corner a basic necessity by controlling supplies" ( p.15 'Disabling Professions") Professional dominance in all our lives must be considered in everything, and what this piece also highlighted to me was how the media through many different ways advertises products that will take you to a paradise , that is until a new paradise is created when an even better product arrives.
Read it again! I will
