State the central claim of the humanistic perspective.

The humanistic perspective claims that people have free will and an innate drive to grow, and that behaviour is best understood from the person's own point of view.

Explain congruence in Rogers' theory.

Congruence exists when a person's self-concept and ideal self are closely matched, and Rogers argued that this state supports self-esteem and psychological health.

What is incongruence, and what did Rogers say it leads to?

Incongruence is a wide gap between self-concept and ideal self, and Rogers claimed it produces anxiety, low self-worth and defensive behaviour.
