In ""Client - Centered Therapy"", Dr. Nathaniel J. Raskin demonstrates this Rogerian style of therapy. This empathic approach is based on the empirically proven fact that a safe, accepting relationship between the therapist and client is key to the process of client self-discovery and actualization. In this video, Dr. Raskin works with a 30-year-old woman, named Cynthia, who is trying to understand why she seems to be drawn into relationships with violent men. This video features a client portrayed by an actor on the basis of actual case material.
