First Draft, my contribution of the origin

[From Wikipedia] In the study and teaching of rhetoric and argumentation, the term Rogerian argument was popularized in the 1970s and 1980s[6][7] by the 1970 textbook Rhetoric: Discovery and Change[8] by the University of Michigan professors Richard E. Young, Alton L. Becker, and Kenneth L. Pike, who borrowed the term Rogerian, and related ideas, from another professor who was working, and doing peace activism, at the same university:[9] the game theorist and polymath Anatol Rapoport.[6][7] The University of Texas at Austin professor Maxine Hairston then spread Rogerian argument through publications such as her textbook A Contemporary Rhetoric,[10] and various authors published scholarly articles on the subject.

Rogerian Argument was a term that was created based on the psychotherapy practices of Carl Rogers. Rogers developed a method of therapy that focuses mainly on his patients and their perspectives. Other scholars began to notice how effective this method was; however, it only fitted for verbal conversation. This idea was then constructed to fit into the writing community specifically in rhetoric. It was later produced in a book by other specialists. Professors Richard E. Young, Alton L. Becker, and Kenneth L. Pike used the foundational theory of Rogers and adapted it to be used in writing. They explain this newly adapted theory in a book they wrote in the 1970s. The book was titled, Rhetoric: Discovery and Change. After this book was published, the term Rogerian became popular and other scholars began to write articles about this emerging topic.
