Moving on: a case analysis of process and outcome in person-centred psychotherapy for health anxiety

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic case-study analysis of a client who experienced debilitating symptoms of health anxiety. A substantial level of recovery was reported following five sessions of person-centred psychotherapy. Data on the process and outcome of therapy were analyzed using systematic team-based case study methodology.

Vaidya (2013), for example, proposed that Rogers' (1959) concept of incongruence be broadened to mean something more than a discrepancy between organismic experience and self-concept resulting from conditions of worth imposed upon an individual by others.…”
