Rogerian psychotherapy relies on a patient's potential for self-healing and assumes that the patient will show desirable personality changes if the psychotherapist is satisfied with necessary and sufficient demands. Rogerian psychotherapy is usually not considered intrusive because of its supportive features. However, there is no treatment without side effects. Insufficient informed consent for psychotherapy, the risk of dependence, regression, traumatic stress caused by probing too deeply, and missing the chance to perform suitable medical treatment are discussed.
