On Becoming A Person: A Therapist's View on Psychotherapy, Humanistic Psychology, and the Path to Personal Growth Paperback – September 7, 1995

Highly recommend, especially for therapists or aspiring therapists. Apparently, it was very popular when it was written, selling a million copies in the 60s when books didn't do that. So others may like it too. Carl Rogers' writing often makes me smile. I've heard things here that I didn't hear in my BA or in my theories class in my masters. One of my favorite essays in the bunch was about the process of change for the client in person centered therapy. I also learned the phrase 'non-possessive caring' which seems like an important concept that I haven't heard of elsewhere. In addition to explaining his ideas more, he also talks about the research on the theory. It's a feel-good technical read.

I have loved reading this book and gaining a new perspective. I learned so much and challenged some of my own bias. It is a really good book to understand the mindset of Carl Rogers

Carl rogers ideas are so fundamental that its patterns he has illuminated permeates every single facet of human life. I am eternally grateful. I know this is a book I will come back to read multiple times.

So now I have read some Carl Rogers. I had always wondered where the “totally accepting” school of psychotherapy came from. Quite different from traditional religion and quite different from Freudian analysis.

A classic in the school of humanistic psychology, Rogers discusses the method and results of his client-centered approach to psychotherapy. The title might lead one to believe that this is a self-help book, but don't let that fool you. This is a collection of rigorous essays -- mostly previously published papers -- that are largely scientific in nature.

Cannot understate the spiritual experience of reading this book. Check it out.

My book came on time and in better shape than described. It looks brand new! I took a chance on this dealer because they seemed newer. I am sure glad I did! Book was double wrapped in a bubble material. Carefully done. Very happy with purchase. Thank you!

This book is like having a great friend at home. Once you understand what Rogers is talking abut when he describes personal growth, dealing with difficult emotions and "the good life" (self-actualization), you can keep it handy to get plenty of support for your deeper psychological processes. Owning this book is like having a great friend at home 24/7 with whom you can find strength during difficult times and deepen your understanding of the wide spectrum of human realities and emotions.
