Using Person Centered Therapy with Forensic Population

Recently, I asked on of the art therapists to talk about his experiences using person-centered therapy with forensic patients. He had used this kind of therapy in his past work, and was able to see progress with a forensic patient he worked with. He talked about the three principles of unconditional positive regard, empathetic understanding, and congruence. This led to a good discussion including the use of asking questions of patients, and using a variety of therapies when treating patients. We all did a piece of art work about a time we used person-centered therapy with a patient, and then talked about the experience.
