Client/Person Centered Therapy

Peer Reviewed Articles - neither EBSCOhost nor ProQuest uses 'person centered therapy' as a subject heading - that is, as an identifying phrase applied by indexers when adding related articles to the databases. EBSCOhost uses the subject heading 'client-centered psychotherapy,' although an alternate more complex search is included to capture possibly relevant articles that do not include that subject heading. ProQuest does not use either.

EBSCOhost

Subject: Client-Centered Psychotherapy - over 35 articles from peer-reviewed journals
