definition: Carl Ransom Rogers, an American psychologist born in Oak Park, Illinois, is recognized as one of the most influential individuals in psychology. Rogers's most important achievements include crafting a humanistic approach of psychotherapy known as client-centered therapy and initiating scientific investigation of psychotherapy, prompting some to call him the “father of psychotherapy research.” Rogers's parents devoutly ascribed to the beliefs of fundamentalist Protestantism and accordingly encouraged pragmatic and Christian values.
