Notes
In Eupsychian Theory, pathology arises from unmet Essential Needs.
Carl Rogers speaks of the pathological outcomes when Outer Connection is thwarted.
I am terribly frustrated and shut into myself when I try to express something which is deeply me, which is a part of my own private, inner world, and the other person does not understand. When I take the gamble, the risk, of trying to share something that is very personal with another individual and it is not received and not understood, this is a very deflating and a very lonely experience. I have come to believe that such an experience makes some individuals psychotic. It causes them to give up hoping that anyone can understand them. Once they have lost that hope, then their own inner world, which becomes more and more bizarre, is the only place where they can live.[1]
Rogers also suggest that "empathic, nonjudgmental listening is...terribly important in a relationship."[2]
