Thông tin sách: The Psychotherapy of Carl Rogers: Cases and Commentary (Hardcover, 383 trang) – The Guilford Press, 1996. Ngôn ngữ: Tiếng Anh.

The celebrated psychologist Carl Rogers left an indelible mark on the entire field of psychotherapy. As the central figure of client-centered therapy, he demonstrated that a therapist could be more than a detached observer. He achieved a rare, remarkable connection with his clients that seemed to encompass intellectual, emotional, and spiritual levels of understanding. Presenting 10 therapy sessions conducted by Rogers\m-\eight of which are fully transcribed\m-\this volume provides an in-depth, critical examination of his work over a 40-year period, shedding light on Rogers' many clinical and theoretical contributions to the field.The Psychotherapy of Carl Rogers gives readers a unique inside look into Rogers' therapy sessions. Presenting actual cases without edits or revision, this book follows sessions from start to finish with Rogers' exact words, illuminating his reflections, interpretations, self-disclosures, and errors. The selected cases span the period from 1946 to 1986 and represent a range of clients--from those suffering from depression, to those dealing with issues of racism, to an individual who was diagnosed as psychotic. The cases illustrate both the consistency with which Rogers attempted to be a keen and respectful listener and the increasing diversity in his response repertoire over the years. Editorial Reviews Review "The Psychotherapy of Carl Rogers has much breadth and depth. It allows critics their say along with Rogers' advocates. This book is well crafted, exquisitely thorough, and as respectfully eclectic as one might wish." ― AHP Perspective (Association for Humanistic Psychology) Published On: 1998-07-15

"Hallelujah! At least here is a book exploring in depth the therapy of Carl Rogers not only from the person-centered perspective....It is particularly helpful to examine contrasting case conceptualizations of a single therapy case. This feature alone is more than worth the price of the book....The selection of contributors is superior." ― Psychotherapy in Private Practice Published On: 1998-07-15 About the Author Barry A.
