Rodgers
I really like Rodgers! I really like his perspective on the client. I agree with him about the client setting the goals of therapy and the direction to get there. I thought it was cool to learn that he came up with the idea of client, instead of patient. I think it makes the person feel like a real person, instead of a sick patient. When the client is engaged and involved in the process, it makes them feel like a productive participant. I do feel that deep down that we all have the answers inside; its just a matter of digging deep to find the truth. Also, I found the battle between rodgers and Skinner to be interesting. Enventhough they had there differences, they both have contributed to the school of psychology. Though they dissagreed, I am sure that deep down they had some sort of respect for one another. I find it also interesitng that the way they were raised by there parents had such an impact in there lives. I really learned many valuable theories in this course. I will be able to use these theories to help others in my career. I feel that we all have something to offer the school of psychology.

I enjoyed your thoughts! I agree with the notion that we must continue to grow as a person. I feel that when we stop continuous growth we become self-rightheous and think that we have it all figured out. Yes, life has its ups and downs but that is how we grow. Love your thoughts!
Terry Osborne on Soren Kierkegaard and the church today

Yes, this brings up some good conversation! I agree with ya. I think that christians get to caught up in the religous routine and forget about what Christ calls us to do! I feel that non beleivers have this attitude about Christians because Christians come off holier than thou! I mean think about it…..who would want to be a part of something like that. Good thoughts Garrett
Terry Osborne on Aristotle: happiness

I agree Sam. At 39 years old, I can attest that material value is not the measure of happiness! I enjoy my relationships and the journey that Christ has me on. Without healthy relationships, how can one be happy!
Terry Osborne on The Allegory of the Cave

I like what you had to say about the comparison of the cave and believing in God. It is totally different when someone preaches about what a relationship with God should be and one’s true experience with God themselves. I also agree with you with the comparison with growing up as well. Good stuff bro!

I would have to agree with you! I believe that life is all about relationship. Not only in our relationships with others but our relationship with Christ! As Christians in obedience, we are to love Christ and to treat others as we want to be treated.

I could’nt agree more! I too think it is awesome how those before us contributed so much to the field. I also see that those before us seem to just record there experiences and then it becomes a theory. I really enjoy and hope to take a little peice of each to develop my own experience as a counselor.
