Both psychoanalytic and humanistic therapists are insight therapists- they attempt to improve functioning by increasing client's awareness of motives and defenses. Humanistic therapy's goals have included helping clients grown in self-awareness and self-acceptance promoting personal growth rather than curing illness. Helping clients take responsibility for their own growth. Carl Roger's client centered therapy proposed that therapists most important contributions are to function as a psychological mirror through active listening and provide a growth-fostering environment of unconditional positive regard, characterized of genuineness, acceptance, and empathy.
