During this roundtable discussion, I realized that the relationship between a therapist and a client can become very complicated; especially when a client becomes defensive. I think that as a therapist, it would be difficult to react appropriately to challenging statements made by a client. Personally, I would feel the need to become defensive when responding to a client. Although through this exercise, I learned that the client will challenge the therapist in attempt to reflect the attention on the therapist.

1.1 Explain the historical development of one major therapeutic model, including the people influential in it 's development. Carl. R. Rogers (1902-1987) is the psychologist whose name is synonymous with the person-centred approach to counselling (Hough, 2006, pg.118) Rogers was born in Chicago on the 8th of January in 1902 he was the fourth child of the six children his parents had. Rogers was usually teased by his older siblings which made him become a bit of a recluse and he would turn to reading books which would help him build up his intelligence.
I believe that this approach is the closest way I have read of my own understanding of what psychology is, and by using the expressive therapy definition, I am able to tailor suit the therapy session to each individual client. I believe that Carl Rogers had a lot of great ideas, and a lot of them, unconditional positive regard, for one, are crucial in helping clients progress. I like the person-centered approach because it allows space for the client to interpret the art, and the meanings behind their works. I believe that it is important for the client to be able to express themselves, and by using more than one art therapy technique allows for me as the therapist to use the technique and media that would best be able to help them in viewing their situation from a different perspective. A population that I am interested in working with are people who have been in prison, and people in prison for life.

The therapist must in any point display with utmost care, interest, respectful curiosity, openness, empathy, and fascination.

The “relationship” for both MI and Rogerian approaches play a momentous part in the therapeutic alliance (Miller and Rollnick, 2013). Roger's (1992) believed that a minimal relationship, and psychological contact, must exist. Ultimately for Roger's, positive personality change can only happen in a relationship, in order to bring about therapeutic change (Cheston, 2000). The spirit of MI refers to the “heart-set and mind-set of the therapist” (Miller & Rollnick, 2013 p. 14). They propose that there are four key elements of the spirit of MI: Partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation (Miller & Rollnick, 2013).
Three core conditions that will aid the therapist in doing so is being congruent, having unconditional positive regard and being emphatic.
