“Most helping professionals consider themselves 'person-centered.' But what does that mean? This book describes and defines what it means to be person-centered and gives numerous examples of person-centered approaches. Contributors show how Carl Rogers’s seminal insights about helping and human relationships have been extended and applied across a wide variety of helping and public service professions and human relationships. Each chapter is filled with clear explanations, case examples, and the latest relevant research.â€--Howard Kirschenbaum, EdD, Department of Counseling and Human Development (Emeritus), Warner Graduate School of Education, University of Rochester“This book carries forward Carl Rogers’s lifelong conviction that his ideas were never meant to remain on the page, but should be lived, tested, and renewed in the world. Across these chapters, we see the person-centered approach as a vibrant, evolving tradition that continues to show what becomes possible when we take the whole person seriously.â€--Dale G. Larson, PhD, J. Thomas and Kathleen L. McCarthy Professor of Counseling Psychology, Santa Clara University-
