Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Therapy

Person-centered therapy

Person-centered therapy

Person-centered therapy (PCT) is a type of psychodynamic therapy in which the client guides each session and the therapist provides unconditional positive regard. The goal of PCT is to provide clients with an opportunity to develop a sense of self wherein they can realize how their attitudes, feelings, and behaviors are being negatively affected.
