Effective counselors employ an array of skills. Carl Rogers (1975) believed that the counselor’s ability to be congruent, accepting, and empathic is necessary for clients to be able to change, and these skills are routinely taught in counselor education. Later in his life, Rogers also articulated the need for a quality of presence that is an essential aspect of client-centered therapy. In an in...

A systematic approach is adopted to review the literature, followed by a meta-analysis of articles on Rogers’ innovationattributes. All publications from 1996-2011 are extracted; 226 relevant innovation articles are studied to showcase the informative trends pertaining to Rogers’ five attributes eight features of ideal innovation-attribute study (approach, dependent variable, study type, instru...

A new crossing symmetric unitarization scheme conveniently applied to meson-meson and meson-baryon scattering amplitudes is shortly proposed which can be not only used by theoreticians to unitarize arbitrary theoretical reaction amplitudes resulting from phenomenological Lagrangeans for mesons and baryons, yet also by experimentalists to generate realistic unitary fitting formulae for meson-mes...

We contrast e¤ects of taxing non-renewable resources with the e¤ects of traditional capital taxes and investment subsidies in an endogenous growth model. In a simple framework we demonstrate that when non-renewable resources are a necessary input in the sector where growth is ultimately generated, interest income taxes and investment subsidies can no longer a¤ect the long-run growth rate, where...

This article reviews the impact of Carl Rogers' postulate about the necessary and sufficient conditions of therapeutic change on the field of psychotherapy. It is proposed that his article (see record 2007-14630-002) made an impact in two ways; first, by acting as a spur to researchers to identify the active ingredients of therapeutic change; and, second, by providing guidelines for therapeutic...

If a continued fraction K∞ n=1an/bn is known to converge but its limit is not easy to determine, it may be easier to use an extension of K∞ n=1an/bn to find the limit. By an extension of K ∞ n=1an/bn we mean a continued fraction K∞ n=1cn/dn whose odd or even part is K ∞ n=1an/bn. One can then possibly find the limit in one of three ways: (i) Prove the extension converges and find its limit; (ii...

Our thinking in this area has been influenced by the developments in therapeutic thinking in general, but particularly by the evolution of client-centered therapy. The client-centered orientation was, at first, characterized by a rather specific technique or method: the therapist consistently responded by “reflecting” the client’s feeling. This meant that the therapist avoided diagnosis and ded...

We reexamine Rogers’ (1994) analysis of the biological basis of the rate of time preference. Although his basic insight concerning the derivation of the felicity function holds up, the functional form he uses does not generate the evolutionary equilibrium behavior. Moreover, Rogers relies upon an interior solution for a particular kind of intergenerational transfer. We show such interior soluti...
