Abstract: Person‐centered therapy may be a victim of its own success. It is well known and has been influential on counseling, but it is often oversimplified and mischaracterized. This position paper offers assertions, encouraging a richer understanding and consideration what Rogers and more recent person‐centered colleagues said and did. Assertions of misunderstandings include the necessity but not sufficiency of the person‐centered conditions, the very existence of "core" conditions, that person‐centered counseling is individualistic, that its origins are only in Western thought, and that the person‐centered counseling is foremost a mental health treatment. The paper ends with an invitation and hope for further consideration among scholars and practitioners who may have oversimplified person‐centered counseling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
