The necessary and sufficient conditions of therapeutic personality change.

Rogers, Carl R.·1957·Journal of Consulting Psychology

Abstract

For many years I have been engaged in psy-chotherapy with individuals in distress. In recentyears I have found myself increasingly concernedwith the process of abstracting from that experi-ence the general principles which appear to beinvolved in it. I have endeavored to discover anyorderliness, any unity which seems to inhere inthe subtle, complex tissue of interpersonal rela-tionship in which I have so constantly been im-mersed in therapeutic work. One of the currentproducts of this concern is an attempt to state, informal terms, a theory of psychotherapy, of per-sonality, and of interpersonal relationships whichwill encompass and contain the phenomena ofmy experience.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
