Who identified “unconditional positive regard” and the “person-centered approach”?

  1. Sigmund Freud

  2. Alfred Adler

  3. Harold Maslow

  4. Carl Rogers

The correct answer is: Carl Rogers

Carl Rogers is credited with identifying the concepts of "unconditional positive regard" and the "person-centered approach." The other options, Sigmund Freud, Alfred Adler, and Harold Maslow, are famous psychologists but they did not coin or identify these specific concepts. Sigmund Freud is known for his theories on the unconscious mind, psychosexual development, and the role of the unconscious in shaping behavior. Alfred Adler is known for his theory of individual psychology and the concept of the inferiority complex. Harold Maslow is known for his hierarchy of needs theory. While all of these psychologists have made significant contributions to the field, they are not associated with the concepts mentioned in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is Carl Rogers.
