Portuguese Association for Person Centred Psychotherapy and Counselling

The Portuguese Association for Person Centred Psychotherapy and Counselling (Associação Portuguesa de Psicoterapia Centrada na Pessoa e Counselling) is constituted by a group of associates, coming from diversified professional scopes, such as teachers, social workers, psychologists, general physicians and psychiatrists.

It is the goal of this Association to get to know and develop the theoretical model founded by Carl Rogers, usually known as Client Centred Therapy/Person Centred Approach, of humanist inspiration and applicable to all Human fields of concern, from Therapy to Pedagogy and through Conflict Management and Mediation.

The activities of this Association include: investigation, training, communitarian intervention and the issue of a journal named The Person as Centre – Journal of Rogerian Studies (A Pessoa Como Centro – Revista de Estudos Rogerianos).

As to this project, and precisely because it our intention that our Journal reaches a numerous and diversified audience, we have invested on the quality of its articles, as well as on the impact of its presentation/image.

On this site you shall find a summary of each number of our Journal, with abstracts both in Portuguese and in English, as well as other information that may be of interest to you.
