Neurophenomenology
Carl Rogers (left) and Alberto Zucconi in Rome, 1979. Together, the
two founded the Institute for the Person Centered Approach (IACP),
an international organization that pioneered this form of Rogerian
psychotherapy. In this method, the therapist undertakes a
collaborative style, partnering with the patient to achieve deep
personal growth. The IACP performs research and training involving
Client Centered Therapy that emphasizes the importance of an
“unconditional positive regard” between therapist and patient.! In
addition, the IACP has collaborations and affiliations with numerous
mental health institutions including the World Health Organization
(WHO), the International Labor Office (ILO), and the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), so that
the IACP is now a global force in the advancement of humanistic
psychology.
