This book charts from first-hand experience the origin and development through the present day of person-centered therapy, its central concepts and the key figures within the movement, set against the prevailing historical, social, and political background. A summarizing and defining text for the person-centered approach, written by a close working colleague of Carl Rogers, the book contains a wealth of fascinating and important detail, information, ideas, accounts of theory, process, and research.
Providing an in-depth, challenging and multidimensional picture of person-centered therapy, the book will be essential reading for all those, whatever their level of prior knowledge, who are interested in person-centered therapy.
