The aim of this study was to understand the horizontal and non-hierarchical position between psychotherapist and client within the person-centered approach in psychological clinic. For this, a qualitative bibliographic research was carried out that aimed to answer this objective. The following descriptors were used: psychological clinic, historical context, Person-Centered Approach. The articles used were found in databases such as: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and Portal of Electronic Psychology Journals (PePSIC). The clinic in the Person-Centered Approach has its particularities to the detriment of other therapeutic approaches, among which the one that stands out most is its vision of being human. For the Person Centered Approach, the human being has the innate capacity to seek his development as long as he has the necessary conditions for this, this is the concept of Carl Rogers' current trend. Thus, he would not need someone to guide him in the therapeutic relationship, as the psychotherapist believes in his autonomy as an individual. The current trend would then be the foundation of this prosperous connection between psychotherapist and client, who does not seek to teach something but to facilitate the client to develop their potential.
