Person-centered therapy (PCT) comes from the
experiential and relationship-oriented therapy tradition. It
is considered to be a third force in therapeutic engagement,
along with the psychoanalytic and behavioral approaches.
PCT is based on faith in and empowerment of human
beings to be joyful, creative, self-fulfilled and willing and
able to connect with others, both socially and emotionally.
The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to explore the
potential union of PCT with early childhood education. The
author will first describe the PCT model along with how its
aspects can be used to help early childhood educators
mentor young children. The author will conclude the paper
with a summary of the implications for therapeutic practice
in the classroom.
