Question
Mukesh was given therapy that encouraged him to seek personal growth and actualise his potential. Based on these principles, explain the therapy that is being applied here.
Solution
- The humanistic-existential therapies postulate that psychological distress arises from feelings of loneliness, alienation, and an inability to find meaning and genuine fulfillment in life.
- Human beings are motivated by the desire for personal growth and self-actualization, and an innate need to grow emotionally.
- Healing occurs when the client is able to perceive the obstacles to self-actualization in her/his life and is able to remove them. Self-actualization requires free emotional expression.
- The therapy creates a permissive, non-judgmental, and accepting atmosphere in which the client’s emotions can be freely expressed, and complexity, balance, and integration could be achieved.
- Healing takes place through a process of understanding the unique personal experience of the client herself/himself. The client initiates the process of self-growth through which healing takes place.
