Carl Rogers is an American psychologist who originated the "non-directive" or client-centered, approach. Rogers believed it was necessary and crucial for the therapist to build a relationship with the client first and foremost so that progress and gains could be made in therapy.

"His ideas were considered radical; they diverged from the dominant behavioral and psychoanalytic theories at the time. Rogers' method emphasizes reflective listening, empathy, and acceptance in therapy rather than the interpretation of behaviors or unconscious drives."

Lev Vygotsky’s “Social Development Theory” – play is important to the development of emotions and understanding.

"According to Vygotsky, learning is a process of acquiring knowledge, beliefs, and problem solving strategies through interactions with what he termed “more knowledgeable others”2 . It is through our interactions with others that we make sense of the information we encounter. It is an inherently social process, one in which we depend on others to help us understand the world. Social learning thus precedes individual development and is unique to the individual."
