Carl R. Rogers (1902–1987) was an American psychologist and one of the founders of the humanistic approach to psychology. He developed client-centered therapy, later called person-centered therapy, as an alternative to psychoanalytic and behavioral models. Rogers taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin before moving into research and public education in his later career. He was a founding figure of the human potential movement and his ideas have influenced psychology, education, conflict resolution, and organizational development. He received the Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions from the American Psychological Association in 1956.
