“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)
“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
“Farber, Brink, and Raskin have compiled a unique and exciting volume. This superbly edited collection of therapy transcripts and associated commentaries helps to consolidate Carl Rogers' legacy to the field and will stimulate critical thinking and discussion for years to come. Therapists of all orientations will appreciate this rich collection of clinical material demonstrating a master clinician at work as well as the stimulating commentaries by leading theorists. The volume will acquaint a new generation of clinicians with Rogers' remarkably prescient thinking and will help to stimulate the type of close attention in academic circles that it so deeply deserves.”
—Jeremy D. Safran, PhD, Professor and Director of Clinical Psychology, New School for Social Research, New York, NY
“To be deeply heard on an emotional level is a rare, transformative occurrence. My father was such a master listener who created an I-thou relationship with his clients. Witnessing his psychotherapy was to view a man fully open, receptive and present to another human being while holding a deep faith in the actualizing abilities of that person. The book offers a broad range of theoretical analyses of 10 recorded and transcribed cases of Carl Rogers. Although the written word never fully captures the aura, essence or ambience of a therapeutic session, it is important to try to understand what Carl Rogers did—what worked and what didn't work—to create a growthful environment for the client. As we critique and learn from his work we advance the field of psychotherapy.”
