Carl Rogers’s person-centered approach is successfully applied around the world. Numerous empirical studies prove its success in several areas involving interpersonal relationships. Whereas Rogers described the processes that promote personal growth in utmost detail and transparency, a cognitive-emotional model that explains the basis for the functioning of the approach has not yet been suggested. This article proposes a mapping of Rogers’s theory into a cognitive model that has been extended to address feelings and emotions at a cognitive neuroscience level. The primary purpose of this model is to complement the current empirical and pragmatic understanding of the person-centered approach by a profound intellectual understanding of the underlying cognitive and emotional effects.We view our model as an initial theory that should inspire further research to allow for evolutionary development.We believe the cognitive insight of understanding Rogers’s theory has the potential to lead to a broader acceptance of its principles as well as to a theoretically well-grounded adaptation of the person-centered approach to the needs of the new century. The cognitive model further clearly delineates Rogers’s approach fromother schools in counseling and psychotherapy and reciprocally provides empirical evidence of a number of cognitive phenomena.
