Carl Rogers by Brian Thorne

Carl Rogers by Brian Thorne

`This book will become a popular introductory text for students of Rogers′ person-centred philosophy. It is clear and comprehensive... Throughout, the book presents a powerful picture of the revolutionary nature of Rogers′ work and its continuing impact on the psychotherapeutic community′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review `Attractively written and very readable... A must for the branch bookshelf′ - The Samaritan Carl Rogers, the founder of person-centred therapy, was perhaps the most influential American psychologist and psychotherapist of this century. This book offers insights into Rogers′ own life and development together with a clear exposition of his major theoretical ideas. A further feature is a detailed exploration of Rogers′ actual way of working with clients as it has been recorded on audio-tape and film. Brian Thorne also presents the controversial view that Rogers′ profound influence on the development of counselling and psychotherapy throughout the world may owe much to the fact that he was a twentieth-century `secular′ representative of a spiritual tradition which goes back centuries.

`I am impressed.. Brian Thorne includes an interesting debate about criticisms made by Buber, May and others about Rogers′ practice, and the influence they had on his practice... For me, Rogers came alive in this debate... useful for anyone interested in checking their understanding (and possible misunderstanding) about PCA and who wants an overview of "the state of the art" in the early 1990s′ - Counselling, The Journal of the British Association for Counselling

`Thorne′s account of Rogers is clear... his personal knowledge of Rogers informs the book′ - British Journal of Medical Psychology

`This book will become a popular introductory text for students of Rogers′ person-centred philosophy. It is a clear and comprehensive introduction to Carl Rogers - the man and his works... A healthy battle ensues between Criticisms and Rebuttals. Perhaps Rogers enjoyed such battles himself, as I did... Rogers′ philosophy begins to feel more like a living dynamic entity... Throughout, the book presents a powerful picture of the revolutionary nature of Rogers′ work and its continuing impact on the psychotherapeutic community′ - British Psychological Society Counselling Psychology Review

`A competent review... new elements consist of reviews of trends and selected, unpublished conference presentations′ - Choice
