Abstract

This article pretends to present alternatives and proposals from the Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), to enrich the psychotherapeutic accompaniment of female experiences of Romantic Love (RL).

Finally, practical considerations are presented from the PCT; Describing the benefits that would be obtained by working attitudes such as: actualizing tendency, non-directivity, Conditions of worth and empatic understanding in individual clinical work with women.
