In my opinion, a distinguished person into of psychology is Carl Rogers. He was born on January 8, 1902 in Oak Park, Illinois and he died of heart attack in 1987 to 85 years old. Two years later of his death, he was nominated for a Nobel prize for the peace.

He abandoned his studies of Agriculture, to begin to study Theology and later he changed of career to the program of clinical psychology at Columbia University and received his PhD in 1931.

Carl was founder of the psychology humanistic existential, propounded a kind of therapy called “Person-Centered Approach”, emphasized in the need of empathy in the therapeutic relationship, he expressed that the Empathy is a important element in the communication between therapist and client.

I like Rogers because he had a positive vision about the person that needed psychology help. He didn’t see to person like sick person or pathological, or like a patient, whereas he saw the person like a client because he was active in the therapy.

I think that Rogers is the best because he propounded that the Self tends to the happiness, consequently everyone can be happy if there is a person that can accept to this person unconditionally. Other reason to say that Rogers is the best is because introduced in the psychology, humanist concepts that are necessary to help to the person, for example: unconditional acceptance, love unconditional, the spiritually of the person, empathy, etc. All those concepts are important for that psychologist can understand and help to the person with all her characteristic.
