Person-centred Developmental Theory: Reflections and Revisions
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Whilst recent years have witnessed considerable debate regarding person-centred practice (e.g. Bozarth, 1998; Gendlin, 1996), a person-centred model of how people come to be the way they are has received little such interest. Indeed, in presenting a person-centred model of human development, both Merry (1999) and Mearns and Thorne (1999) — authors of two key introductory works on person-centred counselling — refer primarily to concepts developed over thirty-five years ago.
