On Becoming A Person A Therapist's View of Psychotherapy by Carl Rogers

A landmark book offering a therapist's perspective on psychotherapy—a must-read for anyone 
interested in clinical psychology or personal growth.

Carl Rogers, founder of the humanistic psychology movement, revolutionized psychotherapy 
with his concept of "client-centered therapy." His influence has spanned decades, but that 
influence has become so much a part of mainstream psychology that the ingenious nature 
of his work has almost been forgotten. New discoveries in the field of psychopharmacology, 
especially that of the antidepressant Prozac, have spawned a quick-fix drug revolution 
that has obscured the psychotherapeutic relationship. As the pendulum slowly swings 
back toward an appreciation of the therapeutic encounter, Dr. Rogers's 
"client-centered therapy" becomes particularly timely and important.
