Carl Rogers Research Paper
Carl Rogers Emily Orta
I choose to do my biography on Carl Rogers. I chose Rogers because we both are the middle child of multiple siblings. Carl was born to Walter A Rogers and Julia M Cushing on January 8th, 1902 in Oak Park, Illinois. The Roger family were Christians who attended a Pentecostal church. His parents were strict Protestants and worked hard to keep society from corrupting their children. Carl was home schooled until he was in the second grade mainly because he could already read before kindergarten.

“Rogers was introduced to measurement and testing by E.L. Thorndike, and he then pursued a clinical fellowship at the Institute for Child Guidance (Kirchenbaum, 2004).” In 1928, he kicked his career off by taking a position at Rochester to become the director of the Child Study Department.
After only four years he decided to transfer to the University of Chicago in which he started the Counseling Center, he was also a professor in the psychology department. This is when he began working on his new approach to counseling now known as “client-centered” therapy. After his graduation from college, he married his long-time girlfriend Helen, and they had a son and a daughter.
Carl was a Humanistic Psychologist. Humanistic psychologists view the human behavior through observing through the eyes of whomever they are observing. Carl believed that every single person can achieve their goals. Their wishes, and their desires in life. He also believed that we as humans only have one basic motive- the tendency to fulfill ones potential and achieve the highest level of what is “human-beingness” that we can. Carl had said that his clients were in charge of their own happiness and not even he could change
