✦ Synopsis

In this paper I want to explore some of the preconceptions that underpin what is frequently called "client-centred counselling'.

My aim has been to discuss its theoretical foundations by referring to one of the most widely used current positions, i.e. the client-centred theory of Carl R. Rogers.

Taking Rogers' theoretical position as a starting point I criticise this for certain inconsistencies and omissions. Then proceeding to his conception of interpretation I claim this also to be lacking.

In attempting to reconstruct a more viable position the phenomenological foundation of his theory is examined. This, in turn, is shown to be problematical and an attempt is made to rectify it. I then return to the theory of interpretation to replace the one criticised earlier in Rogers' work.
