I'll come back to it at a later time and add the rest of my understanding as well as personal assessment of the material presented.I think a *casual* reader would probably prefer to start with his other work, but anyone learning about or working in PCT itself really needs to read and understand this psychological classic. x,xi) This quotation is reminiscent of Socrates who once considered himself a midwife to men concerning their souls and self-knowledge.

This was back when Rogers was still used to writing academic papers, so parts of it are pretty heavy going, with a lot of transcriptions of counselling sessions. I read "On becoming a person" and "A way of being" first and was steeling myself up to read this giant of a book after already being on a bit of a carl rogers overload.

Carl Rogers' well known technique of active listening (mirroring back to the client what he just said) is more than a therapeutic gimmick, it is the manifestation of a profound theory of psychology and an act of faith in humanity. It's interesting to see Rogers talk about introjected values at length, too and shows just how much of a pioneer he was in an age were psychoanalysis was largely still the dominant force. The client doesn't leave the therapeutic process with fixed answers, one could say that they feel more lost after therapy than before, but therapy has equipped him with the ability to navigate the confusion of his inner contradictions. From this disintegration, the client comes to build a new model of the world that encapsulates contradictory experiences without conflict. He was cautious to submit his model of therapy to the scientific method and, when available, he defended his ideas with academic studies.My appreciation for Rogers is deeply magnified by the fact that he was a ruthless seeker of truth, wherever it may lead. It is not just a formulation of a theory, but (following indications of the full title) is an overview of practice and application of client-centered therapy overall.

He received many honors, including the first Distinguished Professsional Contributor Award and the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association. I felt that the first part of the book was helpful in defining the idea of client-centered therapy, expanding on the idea of how the process of this type of therapy is experienced by both the client and the counselor, and how this type of therapy can be beneficial in facilitating change in the client and helping the client achieve a more adjusted and integrated sense of self.Personally, I found this the "easiest" of Dr Rogers' own works to read - however, bear in mind that other people respond quite differently! Possui uma linguagem acessível porém mais técnica do que a encontrada em Tornar-se pessoa, do mesmo autor. The major stumbling blocks of this sort appear to be his concepts of "self" and "self-actualization. It should be noted for the author's benefit however that from the beginning he states that he feels words are incapable of capturing the entirety of the therapeutic process and understanding thereof. Zen of course claims to also not be wholly transmitted through words but I would at least approximate it to experiencing experience.
