For Rogers the "self...is only one expression of the tendency of the organism to behave in those ways which maintain and enhance itself."<ref>Rogers, Carl R. “A Theory of Therapy, Personality, and Interpersonal Relationships, as Developed in the Client-Centered Framework.” In Psychology: A Study of a Science.

			"On the basis of my experience I have found that if I can help bring about a climate marked by genuineness, prizing, and understanding, then exciting things happen. Persons and groups in such a climate move away from rigidity and toward flexibility, away from static living toward process living, away from dependence toward autonomy, away from defensiveness toward self-acceptance, away from being predictable toward an unpredictable creativity. They exhibit living proof of an actualizing tendency."<ref>Rogers, Carl. ''A Way of Being''. Houghton Mifflin, 1980.</ref>{{endstuff}}
