SUBJECTIVE PSYCHIC REALITY IN C. ROGERS THEORY OF THE PERSONALITY
The article contains the main provisions of the concept of personality of one of the founders of the phenomenological approach of K. Rogers. According to Rogers, psychological reality is a personal world of human perceptions. The person has one basic tendency and aspiration -to actualize, preserve and strengthen the organism as the center of experience, to develop in the direction of maturity. The organism is moving towards greater independence and responsibility, towards self-government, self-regulation and autonomy. Disruption of development occurs as a result of negative external influences, primarily social, leading to the replacement of authentic values imposed from the outside. In this deviation lies the source of behavioral anomalies. The more manifestations of experience are available to consciousness, the more opportunities for a person to reflect the general picture of his phenomenal world in behavior; The less protective, distorting the content of experience, the more adequately they are expressed in communication. The basis of the neurosis is mismatch, incongruence of the true content of the individual (experience) and his “I-conception,” the self. Overcoming this discrepancy occurs by integration, when all sensory and internal experiences can be realized through a clear symbolization and organized into a single system that is internally compatible with the structure of the self and correlated with it.
