Implications for Psychotherapeutic Practice from the Person-Centered Approach Perspective:

Deconstruction of Self-Concept

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the process of self-concept reorganization in psychotherapeutic practice from the perspective of the Person-Centered Approach. Based on the theoretical principles of Carl Rogers, the study discusses how self-construction occurs through the individual’s interactions with their environment and how the introjection of external values can generate incongruences that hinder personal development. The narrative text explores the importance of the therapeutic relationship in deconstructing limiting patterns, highlighting the role of empathic listening, unconditional positive regard, and congruence in facilitating personal growth. In conclusion, the article reinforces the need for a welcoming therapeutic space that allows individuals to reconstruct their identity in an authentic and integrated manner, promoting greater autonomy and psychological well-being.
