The Power of Relationship

I am often asked by students, "how can I treat or change this client?"  The answer is you can't.   You need to build a relationship that encourages the patient to see growth within.  To discover through the relationship that there are possibilities for positive change.  TJS

"In my early professionals years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?"    (Carl Rogers,  On Becoming a Person, 1961)
