Synopsis

The late Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy with his concept of "client-centered therapy."

With a new introduction by Peter Kramer, this landmark book is a classic in its field and a must-listen for anyone interested in clinical psychology or personal growth.

It described the therapeutic process in a personal way, rather than clinical. Since this process was from the point of view of Carl Rogers hims......more

3.75 Sách đã mua lâu, đã đọc lâu nhưng nhờ có booktalk mới đọc trọn vẹn từ đầu đến cuối. Nội dung sách có thể được gom lại trong khoảng 2-3 chương thôi.
