A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum and a rotator. The rotator includes a bottom portion positioned on a bottom surface of the drum, and a pillar protruding upward from the bottom portion and having a blade disposed on an outer circumferential surface thereof. A controller controls a driver such that the rotator performs an ascending and descending motion for forming an ascending water flow or a descending water flow at least once in a washing cycle of laundry. The controller performs a method for controlling the laundry treating apparatus and controls the driver such that a rotation in one direction and a rotation in the other direction of the rotator are performed by different amounts of rotation in the ascending and descending motion.
