Die Aktivität der Therapeut*in in der Personzentrierten Kinder- und Jugendlichenpsychotherapie – Wann ist diese sinnvoll, nötig und „erlaubt“?

Abstract

Therapist activity within person-centered Therapy with young people — when does this make sense or is necessary? Since the publication of Axlines’s concept of non-directive play therapy different developments esp. in the German speaking countries took place. Based on a therapeutic relationship coined by unconditioned regard, empathy and congruence several interventions enrich the therapeutic process. These interventions shall attune to the child/adolescent and his or her specific needs. The paper offers a concept for the more active therapist interventions. Examples of therapeutic situations illustrate this.
