Humanistic therapists regard relationships as the single most positive influence in facilitating human growth.

Humanistic therapists believe that a person's well being largely depends on his or her relationships with close ones. These relationships also include an individual's relationship with his or her therapist. Therapists can best support and nurture their clients through accepting their individuality and unique experiences instead of primarily focusing on the client's symptoms.
