The philosophy and values of Carl Rogers hold a central position in the counseling profession. Today the writings and work of Milton H. Erickson are beginning to have a similar influence. Erickson's strategies and techniques have been explored from many theoretical frames of reference, but little attention has been paid to his values regarding the human condition. It is these value assumptions of Rogers and Erickson that will be examined in this article.
This article examines the works of Erickson and Rogers from a person-centered approach (Evans, 1975; Rogers, 1980). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
