ABSTRACT Dreams have the potential provide intimate access to psychotherapy clients’ inner lives. When therapists are able to help clients experience their dreams in a curious, open, focusing-oriented way, the client gains direct access the dream’s tendency to carry their life situation forward. This paper offers evidence of a paradigm shift away from analytic to experiential, client-centered approaches to dreams. It then describes three experiential dreamwork practices: finding the help in a dream (from focusing), re-entering a dream element (from Gestalt) and dreaming the dream onward (from Jung). Included are several clinical and personal examples which show how entering a dream experientially allows the dreamer to discover something new and how this often leads to a change-moment or, in focusing terms, a felt shift. Several clinical and personal examples illustrate that while dreams may be helpful in their own right, engaging deeply with them in an experiential way allows their fuller potential for personal growth and forward movement to be realized. Over time, this way of engaging with dreams can become a natural ongoing undercurrent, both in dreaming and waking, that is always available and evolving.

ABSTRACT This article addresses the question Rogers asks: ‘How can I be of help?’, which formed the theme of PCE2022. Firstly, the article discusses the context of the question, i.e. as an epigrammatic introduction to Part II of his book On Becoming a Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy, and then, in the spirit of critical enquiry, offers some deconstruction of the question in relation to implicit Western assumptions. Thus, the second part of the article poses a logically prior question ‘Can I be of help?’, doing so with reference to humility, cultural humility and, therefore, the positionality of the therapist – and, by extension, the supervisor, trainer, and researcher. Taking a further, critical step, the third and final part of the article considers the implications of changing the pronoun ‘I’ from first person singular to ‘we’, i.e. first person plural, not least in extending the vision of Rogers’ original view of psychotherapy to ‘Can we be of help?’ – and, moreover, not only to each other but also in life and to our living planet.

ABSTRACT Based on a keynote speech at the PCE 2022 conference, this paper responds to the conference theme “How can I be of help?” from the perspective of person-centered therapy. I focus on the kind of help (i.e. the kind of change, or outcome) that clients can expect when participating in person-centered therapy through the lens of “congruent functioning”, a contemporary reframing of Rogers’ concept of the fully functioning person. This model of congruent functioning was developed from an ongoing research program originally focused on the study of a brief self-report instrument, the Strathclyde Inventory (SI). In this paper, I report findings from this program, including a theoretically coherent hierarchical relationship between SI items identified from the pattern of clients’ scoring that may indicate a hypothetical pathway for the development of congruent functioning. I present three different types of supporting evidence for the congruent functioning model, highlighting potential cultural differences, and a case example that considers apparent deterioration in congruent functioning by the end of therapy. Finally, I argue that the model of congruent functioning resonates not only with Rogers’ theory concerning the change process underpinning person-centered therapy, but also supports the ongoing commitment to personal development required of person-centered therapists.
