I understand that the term was used to describe Carl Rogers way of working, and that he must have been doing something different than previous therapists, but I guess I'm missing something?
Other modalities that aren't necessarily person-centered:
Solution Focused
Narrative
Rational-Emotive/Cognitive Behavioral
Behavioral
Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytical
EMDR/TFT/SE
Interpersonal.
I'm sure you can get more details by doing searches or going to Wikipedia.
