Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both client-centered and Gestalt therapy focus on helping clients integrate conflicting parts of their personalities. In client-centered therapy, this is achieved through fostering self-awareness and self-acceptance, while in Gestalt therapy, it is done by embracing the present moment and working through unfinished business. The other options (B, C, and D) are not as central to the goals of these therapies. Gestalt therapy may involve catharsis, but it is not its primary focus, and client-centered therapy does not aim to access repressed material or overcome pessimism.
