Library Journal Review

The currently popular publishing ploy of presenting as ``readers'' the exemplary writings of individual social scientists here benefits both Carl Rogers (1902-87) and audiences familiar or unfamiliar with his multifaceted work. Most of the selections have been published previously, some as early as 1942, but they are well arranged here, forming a coherent and informative portrait of Rogers as therapist, researcher, theoretician, educator, philosopher, diplomat, and private person. While ``encounter group'' now seems a buzzword past its prime, the form of person-oriented encounter Rogers helped to institutionalize in clinics, schools, and other professional settings is very much a part of contemporary American social theory. Although a few very academic papers are included, this volume will interest general readers (in part if not in full) as well as specialists.-- Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley P.L., Cal.

Booklist Review

A compendium of works--some unpublished, some extracted from previously published books--of an illustrious psychotherapist. Thought by many to be the preeminent American in the field but reviled by others--particularly academia--as having oversimplified psychotherapy, Rogers developed "client-centered therapy," in which the counselor takes a back seat to the patient, allowing the patient to do all the talking. The editors have provided a valuable cross section of Rogers' thought, encompassing his rare sharing of personal experiences, his explications of therapeutic relationships (the counselor as "facilitator" rather than "director"), his ideas on the helping professions (more than anyone, Rogers was responsible for the spread of professional counseling to social work, ministry, education, and lay therapy). A solid introduction to an important aspect of modern psychotherapy. Bibliography; to be indexed. --Allen Weakland
