Uh-huh, uh-huh. I hear you saying that "elicity change" in a therapeutic relationship is a relevant premise behind Rogers' work. Tell me more about that... Uh-huh, uh-huh. Mm-hmm. What is "elicity change"? How would it be different from change that is not "elicity"? Mm-hmm.

Thank you for demonstrating that you have zero understanding of Rogerian therapy. Do some reading before you speak of what you know little about.



Well, if an ancillary trick can help you beat a murder rap, it might be worth exploring with a tad less prejudice.

I've explored it pretty thoroughly. Ancillary techniques to augment other approaches. Doesn't mean the techniques can't be effective. But more than using it to assist with other modalities? Not unless you want to get nowhere, or whoever you are treating has minimal issues to address.

I'm more interested in the theories of Milton Erickson.

Both Erikson and Erickson are interesting in their contributions to psychotherapy. Erickson goes beyond simple hypnosis and was well rounded in using creative approaches to psychotherapy, and he influenced many well-known theorists. His influence on Jay Haley, for example, is quite significant.

Thank you for the arrogant insults that in no way address my argument. Gosh! I'll wager that if you were my therapist, we could go around and around like this, week after week after week.

Wouldn't that just be yachtilicious?

If you had actually made an argument, I would have addressed it. All you did was post precisely what someone who knows little about Rogerian therapy would...often a first year college student majoring in psyc. I was there and did the exact same thing. Then I read and learned and now understand that Rogerian theory goes far beyond the simplistic information you provided. My suggestion to you stands. Do some reading before you just speak in standard uninformed rhetoric. Then you would understand that what you described is NOT what happens in Rogerian therapy.

:lol::lol::lol: Good one.

Nah, I'll just tie one brain behind my back...wait...maybe I should tie both. :2razz:
 
There is a theory that most shrinks are as messed up as their patients and this is why they picked the profession to start with.

I been in single & group therapy and neither helped me much:)

Nah, that's a myth. Most therapists went into the field because they enjoy working with and helping people. It would be difficult for a someone to be a good therapist if they were as messed up as their patients.

That's a shame. Probably means you didn't find the right person/group. Sometimes finding someone who can be of help is the most difficult part. Nothing can replace a solid therapeutic relationship. That's why Rogerian therapy has been so important.
