What basic assumptions underlie the humanist therapies? What are the goals of humanist therapy, and how does the client-centered (nondirective) approach suggest therapists can help clients reach these goals?

A good answer will include the following key points.
-Humanist therapy starts from the assumption that human nature is basically good and that people behave badly or develop problems when they have been warped by self-imposed limits.
-The primary goal of humanist therapies is to help the client gain insight, self-acceptance, self-fulfillment, and new, optimistic perceptions of themselves and the world.
-In client-centered (nondirective) therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, the main method used by therapists is to listen to the client's needs in an accepting, nonjudgmental way, and to offer what Rogers called unconditional positive regard.
