Explanation of Solution

When Roger was in his childhood, he mostly stays alone. His parents always show priority towards his older brother that led him to stay alone. His life was not social due to his parent’s pre-requisite conditions about not to play, not to hang outside, not to drink made his lifeless social.

This later made him study books as much as he can. But when he interacted with the patients, then his desire or deprivation from being social forced him to interact with people more and more. So, he started taking interviews, and that gave him insight also. Insight about if he will take interviews during therapy then the actual problem will be exerted out. The patient himself can actually elaborate on his problem and can solve them with few directions by the therapist.

Conclusion

Same like many personality theorists, Roger too had troubled childhood, but loneliness faced by him in his childhood led him to interview his patients during therapy.
