Humanistic Perspective Of Empathy
Humanistic perspective is used to help other individuals develop empathy. Unlike sympathy, empathy requires the individual to listen the other persons opinion this includes to be in tune with their feelings and respect for their personality and what they believe in. However, this approach is not the easiest, not every individual can understand someone’s behaviour. However, if respect is given to the service user or service provider this includes the understanding of the issue it’s can make the service user and provider build a closer bond showing empathy. Honest empathy requires the service provider to discard judgements about a service user and to try and place themselves into the users “shoes”

Rodgers was also interested in the concept of self.
His view differs sharply from the psychodynamic and behavioral approaches in that he suggested that clients would be better helped if they were encouraged to focus on their current subjective understanding rather than on some unconscious motive or someone else's interpretation of the situation.
Rogers rejected the deterministic nature of both psychoanalysis and behaviorism and maintained that we behave as we do because of the way we perceive our situation. "As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves." (Gross, 1992)
Believing strongly that theory should come out of practice rather than the other way round, Rogers developed his theory based on his work with emotionally troubled people and claimed that we have a remarkable capacity for self-healing and personal growth leading towards self-actualization. He placed emphasis on the person's current perception and how we live in the here-and-now.

The physical and biological attributes; male or female can play a role into this concept. Self concept is formed at a young age as the younger generation internalize others. The form in which this works is if the service user received praise on what they have done for example; washing the dishes, the self concept part within their congestive system will accept it and feel replenished and great. However, if a service user were to receive hate or disrespect due to what they have done, the self concept will accept this negative behaviour and adapt to it. It’s been studied that younger children from infancy to early childhood have no ability to make judgements. For example; a 5 year old can adapt to things which has been said on done around
