Carl Rogers by Brian Thorne

Carl Rogers by Brian Thorne

The life, contributions and influence of Carl Rogers, founder of person-centred therapy and one of the most influential American psychologists and psychotherapists of this century, are presented in this book.

`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

`Attractively written and very readable... A must for the branch bookshelf′ - The Samaritan

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 new elements consist of reviews of trends and selected, unpublished conference presentations′ - Choice
