On Becoming A Person: A Therapist’s View of Psychotherapy

A landmark book offering a therapist’s perspective on psychotherapy—a must-read for anyone interested in clinical psychology or personal growth. Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of “”client-centered therapy.”” His influence has spanned decades, but that influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychology that the ingenious nature of his work has almost been forgotten. New discoveries in the field of psychopharmacology, especially that of the antidepressant Prozac, have spawned a quick-fix drug revolution that has obscured the psychotherapeutic relationship. As the pendulum slowly swings back toward an appreciation of the therapeutic encounter, Dr. Rogers’s “”client-centered therapy”” becomes particularly timely and important. — ASIN: 039575531X | ISBN13: 9780395755310 | ISBN-13: 978-0395755310
